چکیده

Several approaches to the synthesis of methymycin were investigated. Segment A (39), containing functionality corresponding to C-9, 10, and 11 of methynolide was made in six steps from propionaldehyde in an overall yield of 37%. Oxidation of 34 with silver nitrate gave 35 which, upon hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide, gave the erythro isomer of dihydroxy acid 36. This acid was resolved with brucine and its absolute configuration determined by Horeau's method. The (+) acid was found to have R,R configuration. This substance was converted to its acetonide (+)-37, which was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride to give (+)-38. Oxidation of (+)-38 with Collins' reagent gave (+)-39. An approach to the B segment (31), corresponding to

Total synthesis of methymycin.

Methynolide and 10-epi-methynolide were synthesized from the necessary segments, which were prepared by the addition of Grignard reagents to the corresponding alpha-alkoxyketones utilizing 1,2-stereochemical selection based on Cram chelation control. Ring-closing metathesis, as the key reaction, was carried out to combine the segments for the synthesis of methynolide and 10-epi-methynolide. The...

Co-produced natural ketolides methymycin and pikromycin inhibit bacterial growth by preventing synthesis of a limited number of proteins

Antibiotics methymycin (MTM) and pikromycin (PKM), co-produced by Streptomyces venezuelae, represent minimalist macrolide protein synthesis inhibitors. Unlike other macrolides, which carry several side chains, a single desosamine sugar is attached to the macrolactone ring of MTM and PKM. In addition, the macrolactone scaffold of MTM is smaller than in other macrolides. The unusual structure of ...

Straightforward conversion of (+)-6,8-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-3- undecylisocoumarin (3) to the title isocoumarin was carried out. Hydrolytic ring opening of (3) afforded the hydroxy acid (4) which was immediately oxidized to keto acid (5) using chromic acid, Cyclodehydration of (5) afforded the 6,8- dimethoxy-3-undecylisocoumarin (6) which on selective demethylation of 8- methoxy group furni...

SYNTHESIS OF (k) - 6,8-DIHYDROXY-3- ISOPROPYL-7-METHYLISOCHROMAN

The title isochroman ( 8 ) was synthesized as a suitable substrate for acetoxylation studies leading to an intermediate of type (4), expected to afford, on condensation with diketen, the fungal metabolite "rotiorin" type linear product (1). Cyclocondensation of alcohol (6), obtained by the reduction of ketone (5) with paraform in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride afforded the dim...
