Corey’s Structural Reassignment of (+)Discodermolide
Ten years ago was published in the same Angewandte 2 outstandings Reviews.
The first from Corey was about the enantioselective reduction of carbonyl compounds with oxazaborolidine.
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1998, 37, 1986.
The second from Nicolaou dealt with the chemical biology of epothilones.
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1998, 37, 2014.
Although the topics were different, they presented both the structure of the (+)discodermolide, but there is obviously a little problem…
