An efficient route to various vancoresmycin-type tetramic acids has been developed. The modular route is based on an effective Fries-type rearrangement to introduce various appending acetyl residues. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the new tetramic acids against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were determined, revealing that three of the new compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. These bioactive compounds were structurally most closely related to the authentic vancoresmycin building block. Additionally, the compounds induced a lial-lux bioreporter, which responds to cell wall stress induced by antibiotics that interfere with the lipid II biosynthesis cycle. These data suggest the tetramic acid moiety to be a part of the vancoresmycin pharmacophore.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Synthetic efforts toward the homoerythrina alkaloids 1-3 are described. Two separate model systems guided the pivotal [3 + 2] azomethine ylide cycloaddition cascade to form the A-C rings of these alkaloids. The cycloaddition
Modular Fragment Synthesis and Bioinformatic Analysis Propose a Revised Vancoresmycin Stereoconfiguration

Elaborate fragments of the proposed stereostructure of the complex polyketide antibiotic vancoresmycin have been synthesized in a stereoselective fashion based on a modular and convergent approach. Significant nuclear magnetic resonance differences in one of these subunits compared with the natural product question the proposed stereoconfiguration. Consequently, an extensive bioinformatics analysis of the biosynthetic gene cluster was carried out, leading to a revised stereoconfigurational proposal for this highly potent antibiotic.
Highly Regioselective 5-endo-tet Cyclization of 3,4-Epoxy Amines into 3-Hydroxypyrrolidines Catalyzed by La(OTf)3

Highly regioselective intramolecular aminolysis of 3,4-epoxy amines has been achieved. Key features of this reaction are (1) chemoselective activation of epoxides in the presence of unprotected aliphatic amines in the same molecules by a La(OTf)3 catalyst and (2) excellent regioselectivity for anti-Baldwin 5-endo-tet cyclization. This reaction affords 3-hydroxy-2-alkylpyrrolidines stereospecifically in high yields. DFT calculations revealed that the regioselectivity might be attributed to distortion energies of epoxy amine substrates. The use of this reaction was demonstrated by the first enantioselective synthesis of an antispasmodic agent prifinium bromide.
