Abstract
The new antifungal strobilurins I ( 1) and K ( 19) are 3,4-dihydro-2 H-benzo[ b][1,4]dioxepin derivatives. Their structure and stereochemistry was determined by degradation to aldehyde 3. Both enantiomers of 3 were synthesised and the absolute configurations assigned by the high-field 1H NMR variant of Mosher's method. (S)- 3 is identical with the compound derived from the natural products. In the course of these investigations the epoxide structures 15, 16 and 17 previously assigned to strobilurin D, hydroxystrobilurin D and 9-methoxystrobilurin K have to be changed in 18, 21 and 20, respectively. All these compounds possess the same benzodioxepin core structure and ( S)-configuration as strobilurin I ( 1).
