Synthesis and algicidal activity of (+)-cyanobacterin and its stereoisomer

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2005 Feb;69(2):391-6. doi: 10.1271/bbb.69.391.

Abstract

(+)-Cyanobacterin, a photosynthesis inhibitor of freshwater cyanobacterium Schytonema hofmanni, was synthesized in 6 steps from a readily accessible chiral synthon 5R-5-(l-menthyloxy)-2(5H)furanone.
