Abstract

The first synthesis of two selenyldeoxycyclitols (4-bromo-2-phenylselenyl conduritol F and 6- phenylselenylconduritol F) is reported via a chemoenzymatic enantioselective route. The key step of the synthesis is the selenolysis of a vinyl epoxide. The new compounds were evaluated for their capacity to inhibit the growth of different microorganisms using a modification of the agar diffusion technique with thin layer chromatography plates as ...
