Monensin (1) is a potent antibiotic. JACS 1980, 102, 2118-2120. 1. Use arrows provided a pathway from (1) to (2) when we add a mild base sodium bicarbonate followed by iodine (I2). 2. What was a similar reaction between Br2 and an alkene? What did we name the intermediate?
Tunicates are marine animals that are called "sea squirts" because when they are taken out of water, they tend to contract and expel seawater. Lepadiformine is a cytotoxic agent (toxic to cells) isolated from a marine tunicate. During a recent synthesis of lepadiformine, the investigators observed the formation of an interesting by-product (3) while treating diol 1 with a reagent similar in function to PBr3 (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3390–3400):
