Self-inhibitors germination

Seebach et al. [45] employed this procedure in the synthesis of the germination self-inhibitor gloeosporone (79). Treatment of seco acid 77 with 2 equiv of DEAD and 2 equiv of triphenylphosphine in benzene (0.005 M) for 10 min afforded the... 

Another relevant example is the total synthesis of the macrolide glacosporone, a germination self-inhibitor from the fungus Colletotrichum glocosporioides. The retrosynthetic scheme shows the important role played by the dithiane anion (Scheme 8).

Two early examples disclosed by Fiirstner etal, ricinelaidic acid (60) and gloeosporone (63) (germination self-inhibitors isolated from Colktotrichum oeospo-rioide), were built by using [Ru]-I (Equations 1 and 2, Scheme 5.13). In the synthesis...
