Structure and Absolute Stereochemistry of the Anticancer Agent EBC-23 from the Australian Rainforest.

The article studies the structure and stereochemistry of the anticancer agent, EBC-23, from the Australian rainforest. According to the authors, the deduced structure of the prostate anticancer agent 2 has been completely matched in terms of bond connectivity and relative and absolute stereochemistry. The authors add that total synthesis further demonstrated the value of linchpin technology.
