Cd. Boyle et Y. Kishi, ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATION AT THE TRICARBALLYLIC ACID MOIETIES OF FUMONISIN B-1 AND AAL TOXIN T-A, Tetrahedron letters, 36(32), 1995, pp. 5695-5698
The configuration at the chiral centers of the tricarballylic acid moi
eties of fumonisin B-1 and AAL toxin T-A are shown to be R, which is o
pposite to that recently suggested by others for the same natural prod
ucts.
