Title: Total synthesis of the bacterial diisonitrile chalkophore SF2768
Abstract: Chalkophores are bacterial natural products that chelate and transport extracellular copper. The diisonitrile natural product SF2768 was first isolated from a Streptomyces species as an antifungal antibiotic and has more recently been characterized as a bacterial chalkophore and potential virulence factor. Herein, we report a modular synthesis of SF2768 and related acyclic analogues, allowing assignment of syn-stereochemistry across the central lactol ring. The copper-binding properties of these diisonitriles have also been studied. © 2019 American Chemical Society.
