The Enigma of Sponge-Derived Terpenoid Isothiocyanate–Thiocyanate Pairs: A Biosynthetic Proposal [PDF]
Marine DrugsThe co-occurrence of rare terpenoid thiocyanates (R-SCN), structurally similar to their more common isothiocyanate isomers (R-NCS), poses an enigma: how does the accepted path, terpenyl cation R+ → R-NC → R-NCS, accommodate R-SCN?
