Up to now rubrosulphin has not been isolated as a metabolite fromPenicillium citreoviride. Rubrosulphin has been isolated fromAspergillus sulphureus A. melleus andP. viridicatum:

Originally racemic 7‐O‐desmethyl semivioxanthin (rac‐[10‐13C]4)13C labeled at C10 was synthesized by a similar route to semivioxanthin (2) synthesis. The13C label was introduced by13CO2addition to 2 6‐dimethoxy‐4‐methylbromobenzene. Feeding experiments withrac‐[10‐13C]4as the substrate revealed incorporation into metabolites1and2 but by13C NMR spectroscopy only one signal heightened for C10 C10′ was observed in the putatively diastereomeric vioxanthin products. Thus no conclusion regarding the detection of the three diastereomers was possible. Therefore a 1:1 mixture of (R)‐[1‐13C]4(8 mg) and (S)‐[1‐13C]4(8 mg) was used for a feeding experiment with racemic [1‐13C]4.

To obtain high yields of vioxanthin (1) by selective deprotection of9with one equivalent of BBr3in dichloromethane the concentration of BBr3in the reaction mixture should be in the range of 30–35 mM.

All other13C NMR signals were not distinguishable for the two diastereomers. A mixture of synthesized (P R R)‐1 (P S S)‐1 and (P R/S R/S)‐1showed similar13C NMR spectra with two carbonyl signals atδ=171.61 ppm andδ=171.57 ppm.

Although the correctP R R configuration for natural vioxanthin (1) fromP. citreoviridehas been proposed by Zeeck et al. (reference [7]) their approach to confirm this is not valid: The CD spectra of1in the range of 300–450 nm is not predominantly determined by the chirality of the stereogenic centers but rather by the axial chirality.
