The synthesis and stereostructure of butalactin and lactone II isolated from streptomyces species was analyzed. It was observed that butalactin exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria. It was also observed that stereoselectivity of the lactones was in the ratio 8:1. The results show that an interesting rearrangement is formed due to intramolecular double esterification of 3-oxymethyl anion.
