Versicolactones A and B: Total synthesis and structure revision

supporting information, p. 6729 - 6731 (2013/11/19)
To further determine absolute configurations of versicolactones A and B, total synthesis of versicolactones A and B and their six stereoisomers were reported in this Letter. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the synthetic erythro-stereoisomers matched perfectly with those of the natural products. Combined with the comparison of the specific rotations, the absolute configuration of versicolactones A and B were revised as (4Z,6R,7S)- and (4E,6R,7S)- from the corresponding (4Z,6R,7R)- and (4E,6R,7R)-6,7-dihydroxyocta- 2,4-dien-4-lactone, respectively.

The autoinducer (4S)-4,5-dihydroxypentane-2,3-dione ((S)-DPD, AI-2) facilitates chemical communication, termed 'quorum sensing', amongst a wide range of bacteria, The synthesis of (S)-DPD is challenging in part due to its instability. Herein we report a novel synthesis of (S)-DPD via (2S)-2,3-O-isopropylidene glyceraldehyde, through Wittig, dihydroxylation and oxidation reactions, with a complimentary asymmetric synthesis to a key precursor. Its enantiomer (R)-DPD, was prepared from d-mannitol via (2R)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceraldehyde. The synthesized enantiomers of DPD have AI-2 bioluminescence-inducing properties in the Vibrio harveyi BB170 strain.
Synthesis of β,γ-disubstituted-γ-lactones through a Johnson-Claisen rearrangement: a short route to xylobovide, nor-canadensolide, canadensolide, sporothriolide and santolinolide

The Johnson-Claisen rearrangement of allyl alcohols with chiral vicinal diol functionality was employed to access chiral β,γ-disubstituted-γ-lactones in high enantio- and diastereoselectivity. These were efficiently converted into nor-canadensolide, the advanced γ-(lactone-lactol) intermediate for xylobovide, canadensolide and sporothriolide and the lactone moiety of the santolinolides.
