Synthesis and antifouling activity of 3-isocyanotheonellin and its analogues

Abstract

A new synthesis of 3-isocyanotheonellin, a marine sesquiterpene with potent antifouling activity against the larvae of the barnacle Balanus amphirite, and its analogues is described. The highlight of the synthetic strategy is the one-step construction of a tertiary isocyanide from an alcohol using trimethylsilyl cyanide and a silver salt. The antifouling activities of 3-isocyanotheonellin and its analogues are also reported.
