Significance

Phostriecin (originally called sultriecin) was isolated in 1992. The original structure was thought to be the analogous C9 sulfate ester (now called sultriecin). Synthesis of this proposed structure led to a distinct difference in the ¹H NMR spectrum. Therefore, the revised structure phostriecin was prepared and shown to match the data of the originally isolated natural product.
