Significance
Microcin SF608, a member of the aeruginosin family, is a serine protease inhibitor isolated in 1999. It displays selective activity against serine protease trypsin over chymotrypsin.
Comment
The TMSOTf-mediated opening of oxabicycle H furnished the octahydroindole core, which was deprotected and coupled to acid I to furnish bicycle J. Removal of the superfluous hydroxyl groups at C3a and C5 was achieved by functionalization of the alcohol as a 3-CF3-substituted benzoate followed by UV irradiation.
