Ravynic acid, an antibiotic polyeneyne tetramic acid from: Penicillium sp. elucidated through synthesis

, p. 8253 - 8260 (2016/09/09)
A new antibiotic natural product, ravynic acid, has been isolated from a Penicillium sp. of fungus, collected from Ravensbourne National Park. The 3-acylpolyenyne tetramic acid structure was definitively elucidated via synthesis. Highlights of the synthetic method include the heat induced formation of the 3-acylphosphorane tetramic acid and a selective Wittig cross-coupling to efficiently prepare the natural compounds carbon skeleton. The natural compound was shown to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus down to concentrations of 2.5 g mL-1.

, p. 300 - 308 (2008/09/18)
The total synthesis of racemic merrilactone A (a neurotrophic agent) is described, featuring simultaneous and stereospecific creation of the C4 and C5 Stereocenters via a notable silyloxyfuran Nazarov cyclization. Full details of the successful synthetic strategy are given, as well as several examples of the interesting reactivity of intermediates that were prepared and studied during the execution of the total synthesis. A detailed investigation of the Lewis acid-catalyzed Nazarov cyclization of silyloxyfurans was conducted, including a systematic study of substrate scope and limitations. In addition, experiments were conducted that suggest the participation of Lewis acidic silicon species in the Nazarov cyclization.
