Syntheses of all stereoisomers of goniodiol from yeast-reduction products and their antimicrobiological activity.[Pubmed: 18776681] |
All stereoisomers of Goniodiol were synthesized from yeast-reduction products. The C-6 chiral centers were converted from the chiral centers of the yeast-reduction products.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Stereoselective conversion of the alkene, which had been prepared from the yeast-reduction product, to glycol constructed the C-7 and C-8 stereochemistry. (+)-Goniodiol and 7-epi-(+)-Goniodiol showed the highest antibacterial activity (MIC, 3.1 mM) against Yersinia intermedia. |

A highly enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-goniodiol.[Pubmed: 16633562] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A high-yielding enantioselective total synthesis of the bioactive styryllactone (+)-Goniodiol has been realised, starting from readily available (S)-glycidol. A key step is an oxygen-to-carbon rearrangement of a silyl enol ether linked via an anomeric centre, facilitating the rapid and diastereoselective construction of this functionalised system. |

Stereoselective syntheses of (+)-goniodiol, (-)-8-epigoniodiol, and (+)-9-deoxygoniopypyrone via alkoxyallylboration and ring-closing metathesis.[Pubmed: 12375995] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A convenient synthesis of (+)-Goniodiol, (-)-8-epiGoniodiol, and (+)-9-deoxygoniopypyrone has been developed via asymmetric alkoxyallylboration and ring-closing metathesis pathways. |
