Abstract
The biosynthetic origin of the isocyanide groups in diisocyanoadociane (1) is defined by incorporation of the advanced precursor [C-14(2)]-diisothiocy anatoadociane (2) into Amphimedon terpenensis. [C-14]-Thiocyanate is also i ncorporated specifically into the isocyanide functional groups. (C) 1999 El sevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
