Cytochalasin B (Phomin): Degradation Reactions and Cyclization of B‐Cytochalasinic Acid to 21,22‐Dihydro‐Isocytochalasin ATreatment of the γ‐lacton 5, a transformation product of cytochalasin B (phomin) (1), with OsO4 gave the dihydroxy derivatives 6 and 7. Cleavage of the former by NaIO4 in aqueous methanol yielded a mixture of the dimethylacetal 10 and the unsaturated aldehyde 11, which are potential intermediates for a total synthesis of cytochalasins. Cytochalasin B (1) was hydrolysed with NaOH in aqueous dioxane to B‐cytochalasinic acid (14). Recyclization of 14 using the Mukaiyama‐Corey method [19] [20] did not yield cytochalasin B (1) but the isomeric 21,22‐dihydro‐isocytochalasin A (18). Treatment of 14 according to Gerlach [21] yielded the phthalimidine 19.
