Bioinformatic analyses indicate that TrdC, SlgL, LipX2, KirHI, and FacHI belong to a group of highly homologous proteins involved in biosynthesis of actinomycete-derived tirandamycin B, streptolydigin, ?±-lipomycin, kirromycin, and factumycin, respectively. However, assignment of their biosynthetic roles has remained elusive. Gene inactivation and complementation, in vitro biochemical assays with synthetic analogues, point mutations, and phylogenetic tree analyses reveal that these proteins represent a new family of Dieckmann cyclases that drive tetramic acid and pyridone scaffold biosynthesis.

Key words: Acyltetramic acid; Phosphonate; Wadsworth-Emmons; Dieckmann cyclisation; Fuligorubin A. Abstract: The use of t-butyl-3-oxobutanthioate (1) and t-butyl 4-diethylphosphono-3-oxobuthanthioate (2) for the preparation of homologated derivatives suitable for amination in the presence of silver(I) trifluoroacetate to afford the corresponding β-ketoamides is discussed.In particular Wadsworth-Emmons coupling reactions of (2) with various carbonyl compounds gave good yields of E-substituted products.Many of the β-ketoamides were shown to be suitable precursors for 3-acyltetramic acids using a Dieckman cyclisation with tetra-n-butyl ammonium fluoride as the cyclising base.These new reactions were applied to the total synthesis of the polyene 3-acyltetramic acid fuligorubin A.
