The first total synthesis of the potent anti-mycobacterial cyclic depsipeptide natural product ecumicin is described. Synthesis was achieved via a solid-phase strategy, incorporating the synthetic non-proteinogenic amino acids N-methyl-4-methoxy-l-tryptophan and threo-β-hydroxy-l-phenylalanine into the growing linear peptide chain. The synthesis employed key on-resin esterification and dimethylation steps as well as a final macrolactamization between the unusual N-methyl-4-methoxy-l-tryptophan unit and a bulky N-methyl-l-valine residue. The synthetic natural product possessed potent antimycobacterial activity against the virulent H37Rv strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MIC90 = 312 nM).

This invention relates to fluorinating agents and, more particularly, to chiral non-racemic fluorinating agents useful for enantioselective fluorination, as well as to their synthesis and use and other subject matter. The fluorinating agents are based on a substituted 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) skeleton and provide electrophillic fluorine enantioselectively.
