The unusual "glycolate" extender unit at C-9/C-10 of ansamitocin is not derived from 2-hydroxymalonyl-CoA or 2-methoxymalonyl-CoA, as demonstrated by feeding experiments with the corresponding 1-13C-labeled N-acetylcysteamine thioesters but is formed from an acyl carrier protein (ACP)-bound substrate, possibly 2-methoxymalonyl-ACP, elaborated by enzymes encoded by a subcluster of five genes, asm12-17, from the ansamitocin bisosynthetic gene cluster.

The development of catalysts able to assist industrially important chemical processes is a topic of high importance. In view of the catalytic capabilities of small metal clusters, research efforts are being focused on the synthesis of novel catalysts bearing such active sites. Here we report a heterogeneous catalyst consisting of Pd4 clusters with mixed-valence 0/+1 oxidation states, stabilized and homogeneously organized within the walls of a metal-organic framework (MOF). The resulting solid catalyst outperforms state-of-the-art metal catalysts in carbene-mediated reactions of diazoacetates, with high yields (>90%) and turnover numbers (up to 100,000). In addition, the MOF-supported Pd4 clusters retain their catalytic activity in repeated batch and flow reactions (>20 cycles). Our findings demonstrate how this synthetic approach may now instruct the future design of heterogeneous catalysts with advantageous reaction capabilities for other important processes.
Improved ester interchange catalysts

(equation presented) Mixed alkoxide/aryloxide clusters are long-lived and milder than previously reported ester interchange catalysts. They completely transform difficult substrates in a single synthetic operation with lower catalyst and reagent ester loadings. In addition to superior activities, these mixed clusters are kinetically less basic toward enolizable esters.
