Lancifodilactone G : insights about an unusually stable enol

Abstract

From quantum mechanics calculations we confirm that the naturally occurring enol lancifodilactone G is stable over the keto form (by 2.6 kcal/mol in water), the only known stable aliphatic enol (devoid of conjugated or bulky aromatics and lacking a 1,3-diketone structural motif known to stabilize enols). We determine architectural elements responsible for the enol stabilization and find a mechanism for keto-enol conversion in solution. In addition, we correct previously reported computational results that were performed on the misinterpreted structure demonstrating that the enol form of this natural product is more stable than previously thought.
