Ketononactic acid and ketohomononactic acid were isolated from a Streptomyces griseus fermentation culture and shown to be present mainly as the (-) and (+) enantiomers respectively. Ketononactic acid was shown to be a biosynthetic precursor of nonactin. An unsuccessful attempt was made to prepare t-butyl 2-(2-hydr-oxy-ethyl)(2-tetra-hydrofur-5-yl)propanoate by the catalytic hydro-genation of 2-(2-hydro-xyethyl)-5-(1-t-butyl-oxycarbonyl)ethyl-idene-tetra-hydro-furan, which was prepared from 6-(phenyl-methoxy)-hexan-4-olide by reaction with t-butyl lithio-propion-ate followed by Raney nickel catalysed hydrogenolysis. Methyl 8-ketopropylnonactate was prepared by the sequential reaction of methyl ketononactate with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulphonate, chloroethyl phenyl sulphide, and Raney nickel. Methyl 8-ketopropylnonactate was incorporated into novel actins in 61% specific and 35% absolute incorporation by S. griseus in the presence of cerulenin. Mass spectral analysis of the resulting material revealed the presence of a range of novel actins containing one or two propylnonactate residues. (D71563/87)

Abstract

Ketononactic acid and ketohomononactic acid were isolated from a Streptomyces griseus fermentation culture and shown to be present mainly as the (-) and (+) enantiomers respectively. Ketononactic acid was shown to be a biosynthetic precursor of nonactin. An unsuccessful attempt was made to prepare t-butyl 2-(2-hydr-oxy-ethyl)(2-tetra-hydrofur-5-yl)propanoate by the catalytic hydro-genation of 2-(2-hydro-xyethyl)-5-(1-t-butyl-oxycarbonyl)ethyl-idene-tetra-hydro-furan, which was prepared from 6-(phenyl-methoxy)-hexan-4-olide by reaction with t-butyl lithio-propion-ate followed by Raney nickel catalysed hydrogenolysis. Methyl 8-ketopropylnonactate was prepared by the sequential reaction of methyl ketononactate with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulphonate, chloroethyl phenyl sulphide, and Raney nickel. Methyl 8-ketopropylnonactate was incorporated into novel actins in 61% specific and 35% absolute incorporation by S. griseus in the presence of cerulenin. Mass spectral analysis of the resulting material revealed the presence of a range of novel actins containing one or two propylnonactate residues. (D71563/87)
