local population densities using small molecules (or autoinducers) in a process known as quorumsensing. Here, we report a new and efficient synthetic route to naturally occurring bacterialautoinducers [N-acyl l-homoserine lactones (AHLs)] that is readily amenable to the synthesis of analogues. This route has been applied in the first synthesis of a library of non-native AHLs. Evaluation of these compounds
