Four possible stereoisomers of 3-hydroxy-4-methyltetradecanoic acid were enantioselectively synthesized by using Sharpless epoxidation and a subsequent epoxide-ring opening reaction with trimethylaluminum as the key steps. The absolute configuration of the beta-oxyacid component of antifungal cyclodepsipeptides W493 A and B was consequently determined as 3S,4R.

A general method for the solid-phase synthesis of carboxy-functionalized peptides by oxidative cleavage of alkynes is presented. Clean and quantitative conversion is enabled by the addition of bases, such as DABCO and HMTA, to the classical OsO4/NaIO4 mixture. The utility of the reaction is further illustrated by the synthesis of oxamic acids.

W493 A and B, which showed strong antifungal activity, were isolated from a culture broth of Fusarium sp. The structure of W493 B was determined to be that of a cyclodepsipeptide, cyclo(3S,4R-HMTA-D-allo-Thr-L-Ala-D-Ala-L-Gln-D-Tyr-L-Ile) (1) by MS and NMR data, an amino acid analysis, and synthesis of the component. HMTA represents 3-hydroxy-4-methyltetradecanoic acid.
