Polyprenols, a universal class of glycan-carrier lipids, play important roles in glycan biosynthesis in wide variety of living organisms. The chemical synthesis of natural polyisoprenols such as undecaprenol and dolichols, and even more so the synthesis o

Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (VRSA) uses depsipeptide-containing modified cell-wall precursors for the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan. Transglycosylase is responsible for the polymerization of the peptidoglycan, and the penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2) plays a major role in the polymerization among several transglycosylases of wild-type S. aureus. However, it is unclear whether VRSA processes the depsipeptide-containing peptidoglycan precursor by using PBP2. Here, we describe the total synthesis of depsi-lipid I, a cell-wall precursor of VRSA. By using this chemistry, we prepared a depsi-lipid II analogue as substrate for a cell-free transglycosylation system. The reconstituted system revealed that the PBP2 of S. aureus is able to process a depsi-lipid II intermediate as efficiently as its normal substrate. Moreover, the system was successfully used to demonstrate the difference in the mode of action of the two antibiotics moenomycin and vancomycin. Copyright

, p. 2035 - 2038 (2007/10/02)
Highly regio- and stereo-selective oxidation sequences are described for the efficient conversion of the gem-dimethyl olefin terminus of acyclic terpenes to terminal trans-allylic alcohols and trans α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.
FACILE FUNCTIONALIZATION OF THE ISOPROPYLIDENE TERMINUS OF ACYCLIC MONOTERPENES BY WAY OF BENZENESULFENYL CHLORIDE ADDITION

, p. 3481 - 3490 (2007/10/02)
Highly site- and regioselective terminal functionalizations of acyclic monoterpenes 1 via benzenesulfenyl chloride addition followed by hydrolysis assisted by silica gel, dehydrochlorination under neutral or weakly basic condition, or dehydrochlorination by strongly basic treatment respectively providing β-hydroxy sulfides 3, terminal methallylic sulfides 4, or vinylsulfides 5 are developed.Conversion of 4 to terminal trans-allylic alcohols 10 via sulfoxides 9 by the Evans procedure is also described.

As the key compound for the construction of cisoid terpenoids, (2Z,6Z)-8-benzyloxy-1-chloro-2,6-dimethylocta-2,6-diene was sinthesized stereoselectively via the Wittig reaction starting from nerol.The ten-carbon building block was coupled with prenyl or neryl p-tolyl sulfone to afford, after reductive desulfonylation, (Z,Z)-farnesol and (Z,Z,Z)-nerylnerol, respectively.
