M. Hartl et Hu. Humpf, Combined synthetic/CD strategy for the stereochemical assignment of the tricarballylic acid side chains of fumonisin B-1, J ORG CHEM, 66(11), 2001, pp. 3678-3681
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.
