Tetronate antibiotics comprise an important and growing family of polyketide natural products possessing a characteristic tetronate (4-hydroxy-[5H] furan-2-one) ring system. They have been isolated from both terrestrial and marine bacteria, and show a diverse range of biological activities.[1] They include the tetronate polyethers tetronomycin [2] and tetronasin,[3] the fatty acyltetronate antibiotic agglomerin,[4] and the structurally closely related protein phosphatase inhibitor RK-682 [5](Figure 1). Of particular interest are the structurally intriguing spirotetronates (Figure 1a), including the antibacterial compounds chlorothricin [6] and abyssomicin,[7] the antiviral compound quartromicin,[8] and the antitumour compounds tetrocarcin [9] and kijanimicin.[10] These compounds appear to arise through an enzyme-catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction [11] after specific dehydration of an initially formed tetronate precursor, as shown for atrop-abyssomicin C [7] in Figure 1b.
