First, we revisited the reported NMR data of bradyoxetin, a putative cell density factor ofBradyrhizobium japonicum, and found some inconsistencies in the proposed structure. To elucidate the correct structure, we synthesized model oxetane compounds and confirmed that the NMR data of the synthetic compounds did not match those of the reported bradyoxetin. After reinterpreting the reported NMR data, we concluded that bradyoxetin must be chloramphenicol. Next, some derivatives of 2-hydroxy-4-((methylamino)(phenyl)methyl)cyclopentanone (HMCP), which is a putative quorum-sensing molecule ofRalstonia solanacearum, were synthesized. The NMR spectra of the synthesized compounds were completely different from those of the reported natural products. Based on theoretical studies, including the estimation of1H and13C NMR chemical shifts using density functional theory calculations, we confirmed the correctness of the structure of the synthesized compound. These results strongly suggest that the proposed structure of HMCP could be incorrect.
