Supplementary information

General experimental details All commercially available compounds were used without further purification except where stated. All moisture or air-sensitive reactions were carried out in flame-dried glassware under positive pressure of nitrogen or argon using standard syringe/septum techniques. Anhydrous solvents were obtained by passing through a modified Grubbs system of alumina columns, manufactured by Anhydrous Engineering. Petroleum ether is of the 40-60 oC boiling point range. Routine monitoring of reactions was performed using precoated Merck-Keiselgel 60 F254 aluminium backed TLC plates. The spots were visualised by UV254 light, or potassium permanganate visualising agent. Flash column chromatography was conducted as described by Still et al. using silica gel (obtained from Fluorochem Ltd.) as the adsorbent. 1 Melting points were determined on an electrothermal apparatus and are uncorrected. Optical rotations were recorded using the sodium D line (λ = 589 nm) on a Bellingham and Stanley ADP220 polarimeter and the [α]D values are reported in units 10-1 deg cm2 g-1. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer Spectrum One FT-IR spectrometer in the solid or liquid state. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded using either a Jeol lambda 300 MHz, Jeol Eclipse 400 MHz, Varian VNMR 400 MHz or 500 MHz spectrometer. The chemical shifts (δ) are reported in parts per million (ppm) and the coupling constants (J) are in Hertz (Hz). DEPT 135, COSY and HMQC NMR spectra were routinely used to definitively assign the signals of 1H and 13C NMR spectra. Chemical ionisation (CI) mass spectra were recorded on a Bruker Daltonics Apex 4e 7.0T FT-MS mass spectrometer. Electrospray (ESI) mass spectra were recorded on a Micromass LCT mass spectrometer or a VG Quattro mass spectrometer. Methane was the ionisation gas used for chemical ionisation. General fermenation procedure Pseudoalteromonas sp.SANK 73390 was incubated on a marine agar plate (Becton, Dickinson and Company Difco™ marine agar 2216) at 25ºC for 24 hours. Colonies were selected and used for inoculation of a 50mL marine broth (Becton, Dickinson and Company Difco™ marine broth 2216) in a 100 mL baffled flask. This seed culture was shaken at 25 ºC and 200 rpm for 24 hours. Marine broth (100 mL per 500 mL flask) was inoculated with 1% seed culture, then incubated at 25 ºC and 200 rpm for 24 hours. The cells were separated from the media by centrifugation (7000 rpm for 15 mins). The media was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x ~ 0.5 v/v). The cell pellet was lysed with acetone and after removal of cell debris by centrifugation and decanting, the acetone was removed in vacuo, and the residue reextracted with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and the organic phase was evaporated in vacuo to give a crude extract. This was purified by HPLC chromatography on a Phenomenex Luna column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5μm, 40 ºC) using a 50 to 95 % methanol in water (0.005% formic acid) gradient over 45 minutes followed by a 5 minute 95 % methanol isocratic wash. Thiomarinol A (1) was isolated as a yellow solid (Rt 16.9 min). δH (CD3OD, 500 MHz) 7. 10 (1H, s, H-5’’), 6.07 (1H, br s, H-2), 5.51-5.41 (2H, m, H-10/11), 4.35 (1H, br s, H-4), 4.10 (2H, m, H-2’), 3.93 (1H, t, 3.2, H-7), 3.85 (1H, dd, 9.8, 3.0, H-6), 3.78 (1H, dd, 11.5 and 2.8, H-16), 3.70 (1H, dd, 9.6 and 1.6, H-5), 3.61 (1H, m, H-13), 1 W.

Acetone (0.5 mL) was added and the aliquots vigorously shaken, the cells separated by centrifugation and the supernatant analysed by HPLC to quantify the thiomarinol A content (calibration curve for quantification generated using authentic thiomarinol A sample at 390 nm).

(Based on a procedure: Low, E.; Gawley, E. R.; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2000, 122, 9562). [2,3-13C]-Succinic acid (230 mg, 1.92 mmol) and acetic anhydride (0.55 mL) were added to a 2 mL round bottomed flask. The flask was sealed with a rubber septum and a nitrogen-containing balloon was attached. The reaction was heated at 110 °C for 1.5 h, after which it was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil. The flask was then placed in an ice bath resulting in the formation of yellow crystals. The crystals were dried under vacuum to give [2,3-13C]-succinic anhydride S1 (195 mg, 99%), which was used directly in the next step without purification.

Pyruvic acid (0.69 g, 7.82 mmol) was dissolved in dry DCM (20 mL) and DMF (cat.) was added under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Oxalyl chloride (0.74 mL, 8.75 mmol) was added dropwise to the solution at room temperature and the produced HCl gas was released via a needle to reduce the pressure to atmospheric pressure. The mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of nitrogen at room temperature for 16 h. (-)-Menthol (1.83 g, 11.74 mmol) was dissolved in dry DCM (3 mL) and was added dropwise to the reaction mixture and stirred for 3 h. The reaction was quenched by adding saturated NaHCO3(aq) (20 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3 × 30 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude oil was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 5% EtOAc in petroleum ether 40-60 °C) giving
