The cyclic decapeptide 8α, another of the four possible structures deduced for the natural polymyxin B~1~ by the usual degradation methods, has been synthesized. It appears not to be identical with polymyxin B~1~ in view of its reduced antibacterial activity __in vitro__.

✦ Synopsis
The structure of solanesol has been confirmed by total synthesis starting from trans-geranylacetone. By six successive isoprenoid extensions via the tertiary acetylene carbinols, partial hydrogenation of the triple bond, transformation into the primary bromide and acetoacetic ester synthesis, the all-trans-C,, ketone has been obtained. This has been converted into the primary C,,bromide by the above procedure and then transformed into solanesol by treatment with potassium acetate and subsequent saponification.
Vitamin K, (401, ubiquinone (35) and ubiquinone (40) have been prepared by synthesis from the appropriate tertiary isoprenoid alcohols.
