Abstract

The first asymmetric syntheses of the cutin monomers (R)-and (S)-10, 16- dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid (10, 16-DHPA) and confirmation of (S)(+)-absolute configuration for 10, 16-DHPA derived from tomato are reported. The individual DHPA stereoisomers display differences in their ability to activate the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum trifolii.
