When threatened, the harvestman Egaenus convexus (Opiliones: Phalangiidae) ejects a secretion against offenders. The secretion originates from large prosomal scent glands and is mainly composed of two isomers of 4-hydroxy-5-octyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-furan-2-one (1), a β-hydroxy-γ-lactone. The compounds were characterized by GC-MS of their microreaction derivatives, HRMS, and NMR. After the synthesis of all four possible stereoisomers of 1, followed by their separation by chiral-phase GC, the absolute configurations of the lactones in the Egaenus secretion was found to be (4S,5R)-1 (90%) and (4S,5S)-1 (10%). Hydroxy-γ-lactones represent a new class of exocrine defense compounds in harvestmen.

Seven new enantiopure proton-ionizable crown ethers containing a dialkylhydrogenphosphate moiety were prepared starting from optically active dialkyl-substituted oligoethylene glycols and phosphorus oxychloride followed by mild hydrolysis of the resulting macrocyclic chlorophosphates. Pentaethylene glycols having primary hydroxyl groups gave good yields of 17-crown-6 type ethers. Pentaethylene glycols with secondary hydroxyl groups rendered about the same amount of 17-crown-6 ethers and open chain dihydrogenphosphates in low yields. Tetraethylene glycols are reluctant to undergo macrocyclization with phosphorus oxychloride, especially the ones which contain secondary hydroxyl groups.

Monoacylglycosylglycerols show anti-tumor promoting effects: in order to study the role of the ester function we have prepared by simple methods (R)-1-O-benzyl-1,2-decandiol, (R)-3-O-benzyl-1-O-hexyl-sn-glycerol, and (R)-1-O-benzyl-5-oxo-1,2-decandiol; these optically active compounds are building blocks for the synthesis of monohexanoylglycosylglycerol isosters.
