Any of a family of antibiotic polycyclic compounds characterized by a tetronate unit joined by a single atom to a cyclohexene ring..
The cycloaddition reaction proceeded in excellent yield, but afforded a 25:65:10 mixture of three isomeric spirotetronates: 129, its diastereomer, and a regioisomer resulting from addition at the disubstituted 2,4-diene system.
The researchers concluded: “The resulting spirotetronates, which bear an OSA-derived aryl group, exhibited antibacterial activities comparable to those of the parent products.”
