A recently described γ-lactone polyketide originally isolated from the fungal strain Diaporthe sp. SXZ-19 of Camptotheca acuminata and its C-8 epimer were synthesized in stereoselective manner and their structure revised by Professor Gowravaram Sabitha and her colleagues from the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (Hyderabad, India).
Professor Reddy – one of the article’s co-authors – said: “Synthesis of a γ-lactone polyketide has been achieved by utilizing Carreira, Ohira–Bestmann and alkyne–aldehyde coupling reactions.”
