title: Synthesis of the structure proposed for the natural allenic antibiotic scorodonin.
abstract: The structure proposed for scorodonin, a natural allenyne with significant antibacterial and antifungal activities, was synthesized through an enantioselective route. The spectroscopic data of the synthetic allenyne are generally consistent with those reported for the natural one, but slight yet definite differences were observed in (13)C NMR.
