Dinoflagellates, a type of primitive unicellular algae, are a rich source of structurally and biologically intriguing natural products; eg, okadaic acid, brevetoxins, ciguatoxins, and maitotoxin. Among these polyether-cyclic compounds, amphidinols are unique dinoflagellate metabolites since they are primarily made up of linear polyhydroxy structures. The first member of this group was isolated from the dinoflagellate Amphidinium klebsii as a potent antifungal substance by Yasumoto’s group. 1a A series of homologues1b, c has since been found in the same genus, and Kobayashi’s group reported closely related compounds, luteophanols. 2 These long-chain polyhydroxy compounds may be one of the most challenging targets for stereostructural elucidation since chiral centers are scattered over a flexible acyclic structure. Thus, little is known of the nature of the stereogenic centers in amphidinols.We recently developed J-based configuration analysis, 3 which has been proven to be a powerful tool for the stereochemical determination of acyclic structures. 3b In this method, 1, 2-diastereomeric relationships between chiral centers are determined by choosing a correct staggered rotamer among six possibilities arising from erythro and threo configurations using spin-coupling constants (3JH, H and 2, 3JC, H, eg, see Figure 1c for 2JC, H). 3a In this paper, we report the complete configuration of amphidinol 3 (1), a representative homologue of the amphidinol family, mainly using this J-based method.
