Total Synthesis and Structure Revision of Palmarumycin B6
Abstract:
Palmarumycin B6 and its regioisomer were synthesized via 7- and 13-step routes using 2-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenyl methyl ether as the starting materials in overall yields of 2.7% and 12%, respectively. Their structures were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray diffraction data. The structure of palmarumycin B6 was revised as 6-chloropalmarumycin CP17. The bioassay results showed that the larvicidal activity of palmarumycin B6 with an LC50 value of 32.7 μM was significantly higher than that of its 8-chloro isomer, with an LC50 value of 227.3 μM.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
