Abstract:
F13459 is a new inhibitor of synthesis and trafficking of virus glycoprotein isolated from the culture broth of a Penicillium sp. The molecular formula of F13459 was determined to be C27H28O11 by HRFAB-MS and NMR spectral analyses. The structure of F13459 was elucidated to be 3,4-dihydro-3,4,6,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methyl-1H-2-benzopyran-1-one 4-O-mycophenolate, an ester derivative of mycophenolic acid. F13459 was isolated as the optically inactive form. F13459 exists in epimeric mixtures at C-3' through relatively fast hemiacetal-ketone tautomerism and at C-4' through slow keto-enol tautomerism. Those epimerizations were confirmed by NOE differential experiments for fast chemical exchange and equilibrium and by deuteration experiments in NMR for slow chemical exchange.

Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Overview
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...

Physical Properties of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Among the carboxylic acid derivatives, the boiling points of acid chlorides and esters are very similar and are the lowest in the series. Acid anhydrides have slightly higher boiling...
