The development of a π-stacking-based approach for increased stereoselectivity in Sharpless asymmetric and diastereomeric dihydroxylation of cis-enynes is disclosed. The use of neighboring, electron-rich benzoate esters proved key to the success of this process. Density functional theory study suggests that the substrate benzoate ester group rigidifies the dihydroxylation transition states by forming a favorable π-stacking interaction in both Major-TS and Minor-TS. The energetic preference for the Major-TS was found in part because of the favorable eclipsing conformation of the alkene substituent as opposed to the disfavored bisecting conformation found in the Minor-TS. The application to a second-generation synthesis of the C15-C24 northern portion of mandelalide A is demonstrated.

The present invention relates to a class of conjugated unsaturated compounds, to a method of preparing such compounds, and to the polymerisation and bio-active uses of such compounds including their use as antimicrobial agents. The invention particularly relates to compounds containing three conjugated unsaturated moieties, at least two of which are yne moieties.
