Synthesis of deuterated mevalonolactone isotopomers

A synthetic route was developed for the preparation of deuterated mevalonolactones. Using low-cost deuterated reagents, this route allows for the independent introduction of deuterium labeling into any carbon position or into any combination of positions. Following this approach, the synthesis of [6,6,6-2H3]mevalonolactone, [4,4,6,6,6-2H 5]mevalonolact-one, [5,5-2H2]mevalonolactone, [5,5,6,6,6-2H5]mevalonolact-one, and [2,2,6,6,6- 2H5]mevalonolactone is described.

A novel type of geosmin biosynthesis in myxobacteria

The biosynthesis of geosmin (1) and (1(10)E,5E)-germacradien-11-ol (2), two volatile terpenoid compounds emitted by the myxobacteria Myxococcus xanthus and Stigmatella aurantiaca, was investigated in feeding experiments with different labeled precursors.
