Organic Letters 14(11): 2822-2825.1523-7060http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:10417533Microtermolides A (1) and B (2) were isolated from a Streptomyces sp. strain associated with fungus-growing termites. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Structural elucidation of 1 led to the re-examination of the structure originally proposed for vinylamycin (3). Based on a comparison of predicted and experimental \(^1\)H and \(^{13}\)C NMR chemical shifts, we propose that vinylamycin’s structure be revised from 3 to 4.en-USJournal Article2013-03-1510.1021/ol301043p
