Three kinds of seco-macrosphelide A congeners, (4R,5S,10R,11S,15S)-6, (4R,5S,9S,14R,15S)-7 and (3S,8R,9S,14R,15S)-8 were chemically synthesized, and they were exposed to the lipase OF-360 from Candida rugosa to give three hydroxy carboxylic acids, respectively. Macrolactonization of the hydroxy acid (4R,5S,10R,11S)-18 derived from (4R,5S,10R,11S,15S)-6 gave 12-membered lactone (19) in 47% overall yield from 6, while that of the seco-acid (4) derived from (4R,5S,9S,14R,15S)-7 afforded (−)-dibenzyl macrosphelide A (25) in 27% overall yield from 7. Macrolactonization of the hydrolysis product, seco-acid (5) derived from (3S,8R,9S,14R,15S)-8, provided (−)-dibenzyl macrosphelide A (25) (5% overall yield from 8) and 12-membered lactone (19) (20% overall yield from 8) concurrently.
