Abstract
The circular dichroism (CD) exciton chirality method was employed for the s tereochemical assignment of the tricarballylic acid (TCA) side chains of fu monisin B-1 1a (FB1). Using 2-naphthoate for chromophoric derivatization of the reduced TCA moieties, the absolute configuration was shown to be R. Fo r additional confirmation, an optically active dihydroxy-tert-butanoate 2 r elated to the TCA group of fumonisin BI was synthesized to serve as a model compound.
