Abstract
Abstract Syringolide 2 ( 1 ; n=2), an elicitor metabolite of the bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato , has been synthesised in four steps from D-xylulose. The key stage involves triple cyclisation of the putative biosynthetic intermediate 1-(3′-oxodecanoyl)-D-xylulose ( 9 ), and provides evidence for the biosynthesis of the syringolides.
