ORGANIC SYNTHESIS. Comment on "Asymmetric syntheses of sceptrin and massadine and evidence for biosynthetic enantiodivergence".

David H Sherman1, Sachiko Tsukamoto2, Robert M Williams3.   

Abstract

Ma et al. (Reports, 10 October 2014, p. 219) report asymmetric syntheses of sceptrin and massadine and, through a stereochemical reassignment, claim to "uncover enantiodivergence as a new biosynthetic paradigm for natural products." We challenge and clarify this claim with relevant examples from the literature of this well-known phenomenon of enantiodivergent congener biosynthesis within the same producing organism.
