Abstract

Water and not acetate is the source of the oxygen atom 4a‐OH in the biosynthesis of tetracenomycin C. Based on this unusual finding, an intermediate epoxide is postulated, which has to be “cis opened” to attain the required stereochemistry at C‐4a and C‐12a (see reaction sequence below). (Figure Presented.)
