DOI: 10.1021/acs.orglett.1c01387
Abstract: Fengycins are cyclic lipo-depsipeptides produced by Bacillus spp. that display potent antifungal properties but are chemically unstable. This instability has meant that no total synthesis of any fengycin has been published. Here we report the… read more here.
