Geraniol was converted, using Sharpless oxidations as key steps, into the chiral tuans-tri-substituted tetrahydrofuran 10, from which chrysotricine was synthesized in 16 steps (1.1% overall yield). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthesis and first antimicrobial evaluation of farnesyldiphosphate mimetics are described. Several analogues (10, 12, 13, and 20) are inhibitors of Candida albicans, Shizosaccharomyces pombe, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The activities of analogues 10, 12, and 13, which contain a omega-phenyl moiety and a diphosphate isostere, are not attributable to inhibition of sterol biosynthesis via squalene
