Title: Endiandric Acids
Literature References: A group of novel polycyclic compounds isolated from leaves of the 'Dorrigo Plum', Endiandra introrsa C. T. White, Lauraceae, a large tree occurring in rain forests of Australia. Although they have a number of asymmetric centers, endiandric acids occur in nature in racemic rather than enantiomeric forms. This fact led to a proposed hypothesis for the "biogenesis" of these compounds in nature from achiral precursors by a series of non-enzymatic electrocyclizations called the "endiandric acid cascade".
