Optically active sydonic acid (1) was isolated for the first time from a culture broth of Glonium sp. The absolute stereochemistry was established to be (S) by comparing the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum with that of (+)-curcutetraol after conversion into (+)-sydonol (2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
