Abstract:
Two novel diastereoisomeric bicyclic ketals, colomitides A and B (1 and 2, resp.), together with the known (4RS)-3,4-dihydro-4,8-dihydroxynaphthalen-1(2H)-one (3) and preussomerin E (4), were isolated from liquid cultures of an unidentified freshwater fungus YMF 1.01029. Colomitides possess an unusual 2,7-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton. The chemical structures and relative configurations of compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic means, including 2D-NMR (HMBC, HMQC, TOCSY, ROESY, and (1)H,(1)H-COSY). Compounds 1, 2, and 4 showed noticeable antifungal and antibacterial activities.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
