The Revised Structure of Trichodermatide A

A revised structure for trichodermatide A, which is a C10 epimer of the originally reported structure, is proposed. The revision is supported by the X-ray structure of a synthetic intermediate synthesized according to our previous route for trichodermatide A. The revised stereochemistry was also supported by NOESY experiment. Finally, we synthesized Trauner's compound corresponding to the originally reported structure from our synthetic intermediate of trichodermatide A through a Mitsunobu reaction at C10.
