Victorins are cyclic pentapeptide natural products isolated from the fungus Cochliobus victoriae. Using a combination of synthesis and spectroscopic methods we have assigned the geometry of the vinyl chloride residue and determined the stereochemistry of the 5,5-dichloroleucine moiety.

The conjugate addition of mercaptans to β-chloro-α,β-didehydroamino acids has been studied as a method for the preparation of β,β-bis(alkylthio)-α-amino acids.The addition of thioacetic acid was observed to yield β,β-bis(acetylthio)-DL-alanine derivatives.The addition of other mercaptans, such as benzyl mercaptan or appropriate cysteine derivatives, gave only the monosubstitution product, a β-(alkylthio)-α,β-didehydro-α-amino acid; addition of a second molecule of the mercaptan failed to occur.Studies were carried out on the addition of mercaptans to β, β-dichloro-α,β-didehydro-α-amino acid derivatives.By this method the unsymmetrical α,β-bis(alkylthio)dehydroamino acid 14 was prepared, though in low yield and of undetermined configuration.
