title: Radicamines A and B: synthesis and revision of the absolute configuration.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Starting from D-xylose, enantioselective syntheses of 1 and 2, the proposed structures for radicamines A and B, were accomplished. Both (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of 1 and 2 were identical with those of the natural products, but the optical rotation measurements identified that 1 and 2 were actually the enantiomers of the natural radicamines A and B, respectively.
