Abstract

A full account of stereoselective total synthesis of a novel glycolipid, acremomannolipin A (1), the potent calcium signal modulator isolated from Acremonium strictum, by employing the stereoselective β-mannosylation of 4,6-O-benzylidene-protected mannosyl sulfoxide with d-mannitol as the key reaction is described. The α-anomer (epi-1) of 1 was also synthesized selectively. The calcium modulating activity was reduced upon inversion of the configuration at the anomeric center, indicating that the β-configuration of the mannose moiety is preferable for the activity.
