Abstract

(Matrix presented) The putative structure of the naturally occurring aquatic peptide aeruginosin EI461 has been prepared from D-tyrosine. A corrected structure for aeruginosin EI461 is proposed, and the structure is proven by synthesis, which was accomplished using the new α-amino acid (2S,-3aR,6R,7aR)-6-hydroxy-2-carboxyoctahydroindole, prepared from L-tyrosine. Succesive couplings of the dipeptide D-Leu-3a,7a-diepi-L-Choi with L-Hpla and NH4OH and a deprotection step gave aeruginosin EI461.
