Skyllamycin is a non-ribosomally synthesized cyclic depsipeptide from Streptomyces sp. Acta 2897 that inhibits PDGF-signaling. The peptide scaffold contains an N-terminal cinnamoyl moiety, a β-methylation of aspartic acid, three β-hydroxylated amino acids and one rarely occurring α-hydroxy glycine. With the exception of α-hydroxy glycine, the stereochemistry of the amino acids was assigned by comparison to synthetic reference amino acids applying chiral GC-MS and Marfey-HPLC analysis. The stereochemistry of α-hydroxy glycine, which is unstable under basic and acidic conditions, was determined by conformational analysis, employing a combination of data from NOESY-NMR spectroscopy, simulated annealing and free MD simulations. The simulation procedures were applied for both R- and S-configured α-hydroxy glycine of the skyllamycin structure and compared to the NOESY data. Both methods, simulated annealing and free MD simulations independently support S-configured α-hydroxy glycine thus enabling the assignment of all stereocenters in the structure of skyllamycin and devising the role of two-component flavin dependent monooxygenase (Sky39) as S-selective.

The formal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and aldehydes is explored, as hydrolysis of the resulting oxazolidine product gives facile access to valuable syn-β-arylβ-hydroxy-α-amino esters. The use of using benzaldehydederived imines as the ylide precursor results in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with high conversions but low diastereoselec-tivity. In contrast, the employment of benzophenone-derived imines as the ylide precursor results in an aldol reaction, which gives the intermediate oxazolidine in high diastereoselectivity and requires a weak acid catalyst to achieve higher conversions.
