Synthesis of the quorum sensing molecule Diffusible Signal Factor using the alkyne zipper reaction

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The development of a concise synthesis of the quorum sensing molecule Diffusible Signal Factor is described. This route exploits an alkyne zipper reaction to form a key terminal alkyne intermediate. The chemistry outlined here may also be applied to the preparation of cis-unsaturated analogues of Diffusible Signal Factor.
