Abstract
Lipogrammistin-A (Ib) was isolated as an ichthyotoxic and hemolytic co nstituent of the skin mucus of the grammistid fish Aulacocephalus temm incki. Its absolute stereochemistry was established by chemical degrad ation and total synthesis. The stereochemistry of the 2-methylbutyryl moieties attached to N9 and N15 was determined to be S by HPLC analysi s of a diastereomeric derivative. The stereochemistry of the remaining C4 position was elucidated to be S by a total synthesis of the two di astereomers (4S)- and (4R)-1.
