Abstract

Sphydrofuran (1) was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. (strain Go 28 and Tu 3616) by chemical screening methods. Metabolite 1 is an anomeric and ring-chain tautomeric mixture and could easily be transformed into the stable furan derivative 2 under acidic conditions. The constitution and relative configuration of 1 was established by X-ray crystallography of its 8-O-methyl derivative 3a. The absolute configuration at C(4) of 1 and thus of the whole molecule (3R,4S,5S) could be determined starting from 2 using the Helmchen method.
