(-)-Thallusin, isolated from a marine bacterium, is the only known natural product to act as an algal morphogenesis inducer. Because (-)-thallusin can only be obtained in exceedingly limited amounts from microbial cultivation, a synthetic supply of this compound is highly desirable. Here, we describe a novel synthetic pathway to (±)-thallusin and the first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-thallusin utilizing the enzymatic hydrolysis resolution with the combination of lipase PS-30 and lipase M Amamo-10.

A fully enantioselective, catalytic synthesis of the algal morphogen (-)-thallusin using polyene cyclization chemistry is reported. The synthesis features dedicated precursor design, introduction of a TMS-substituted arene as a regioselective terminator, very high enantiomer excess (ee) on gram scale, and productive scaffold functionalization. Furthermore, an ee determination methodology of thallusin samples was developed, and the ee of biosynthesized thallusin was determined.

Chemical mediators are key compounds for controlling symbiotic interactions in the environment. Here, we disclose a fully stereoselective total synthesis of the algae differentiation factor (-)-thallusin that utilizes sophisticated 6-endo-cyclization chemistry and effective late-stage sp -sp -couplings using non-toxic reagents. An EC of 4.

The marine green macroalga Ulva (Chlorophyta, Ulvales), also known as sea lettuce, coexists with a diverse microbiome. Many Ulva species proliferate in nature and form green algal blooms ("green tides"), which can occur when nutrient-rich wastewater from agricultural or densely populated areas is flushed into the sea. Bacteria are necessary for the adhesion of Ulva to its substrate, its growth, and the development of its blade morphology.

[reaction: see text] A three-step route from sclareol oxide (6) to bromo ester 4 in 53% overall yield was achieved using the efficient oxidation of an allylic bromide to an enal with bis(2,4,6-trimethylpyridine)silver(I) hexafluorophosphate in DMSO. Stille coupling of bromo ester 4 with stannylpyridine 5 gave the trimethyl ester of ent-thallusin in 54-92% yield by the stoichiometric conversion of 4 to a vinyl palladium intermediate prior to the addition of 5 to the reaction.
