Myxobacteria are a valuable source of structurally diverse biologically active natural products. Among the various strains isolated from Sorangium cellulosum, strain Soce12 produces several important antibiotic or cytotoxic compounds such as soranigicinA,[1] sorangiolides,[2] disorazoles,[3] and chivosazoles. The chivosazoles (Table 1) form a family of 31-membered macrolides which were isolated from S. cellulosum So ce12 at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI, formerly GBF) in 1997.[4] They are active against yeasts and filamentous fungi and they are highly cytotoxic against mammalian cell cultures (IC50 9 ng mLÀ1 for L929 and HeLa). Structurally, the 31-membered macrolactone can be dissected into three polyene segments (C2–C9, C12–C15, and C23–C28), hydroxylated ketide segments (C20–C23 and C29–C35), and an oxazole moiety. Except for chivosazole F (7), all the natural variants possess a 6-desoxyglucopyranose unit (chinovose) at C11.The structure of chivosazole A (1) was established by mass spectrometry and NMR studies.[4] However, chemical synthesis of this very potent natural product was obstructed by the lack of stereochemical information on the ten stereocenters. Nevertheless, its remarkable biological activity and potency combined with its complex structure prompted us to determine the configuration of chivosazole A (1) as a prerequisite for its chemical synthesis. Herein we describe how the absolute and relative configuration of chivosazole has been assigned through a combination of chemical degradation, partial synthesis, NMR spectroscopy, and genetic analysis.[5] At the start of our investigations we analyzed the relative configuration of C32 and C34. An acetonide was generated in the side chain and examined with the aid of the method described by Rychnovsky and Evans;[6] three new 13C NMR signals were found at δ= 24.8, 25.2, and 101.8 ppm, thereby indicating a 1, 3-anti-diol relationship between C32 and C34 (Scheme 1). To determine the configuration of the adjacent
