Dichocetide D Shaker et al. [1] recently reported the isolation of Dichocetide D (1) from the marine fungus Dichotomomyces cejpii under oxygen stress conditions. The structure of dichocetide D was revised by Elyashberg et al [2] on the basis of chemical considerations and utilization of ACD/Structure Elucidator (ACD/SE). The reported structure 1 is surprising as...
