Abstract:
The relative and absolute configuration of neomaclafungins were impossible to establish by spectroscopic analyses alone because of the lack of exploitable 1 H-1 H couplings and nOes between the upper and the lower subunits. This very difficult task now is finally completed by an enantioselective total synthesis of neomaclafungin A (revised) and its diastereomer (reported). The results also provided a key reference for the complete structures for other neomaclafungins and the long-known closely related natural product maclafungin.
