Four new 11‐mer peptaibols, named albupeptins A–D (1–4), were isolated from cultures of the fungus Gliocladium album. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, as well as ESI‐HRMSn analysis. The sequence of albupeptin A (1) was thus identified as Ac‐Aib1‐Aib2‐Val3‐Leu4‐Aib5‐Pro6‐Iva7‐Leu8‐Gln9‐Aib10‐Leuol11. Albupeptins B (2) and C (3) feature an exchange of Aib5 by Iva5 and of Aib1 by Iva1, respectively, and albupeptin D (4) contains both Iva1 and Iva5 residues. The stereochemistry of the isolated peptaibols 1–4 was unambiguously assigned by 1H NMR chemical shift analysis in conjunction with solid‐phase peptide synthesis. By using this approach, the absolute configuration of the Iva residues in albupeptins A (1) and C (3) was determined to be D, whereas albupeptins B (2) and D (4) feature an additional Iva5 residue with an L configuration. Thus, albupeptins B (2) and D (4) belong to the rare class of peptaibols that have both stereoisomers of Iva in the same sequence.

Hygrophorone B12, a new antifungal constituent from the fruiting bodies of Hygrophorus abieticola, has been isolated and subsquently synthesized in enantiomerically pure form. The total synthesis includes a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation protocol as the stereodifferentiating step, followed by two diastereoselective aldol‐type reactions. The approach allows the unambiguous control of all three stereogenic centres, and, furthermore, unequivocal determination of the relative and absolute configuration of antibiotic hygrophorones B for the first time.
