Redox enzymes play a central role in generating structural complexity during natural product biosynthesis. In the postassembly tailoring steps, redox cascades can transform nascent chemical scaffolds into structurally complex final products. Chaetoglobosin A (1) is biosynthesized by hybrid polyketide synthase–nonribosomal peptide synthetase. It belongs to chaetoglobosin family of products, comprising many analogs having different degrees oxidation introduced their We report here...

Abstract Chiral organic salts, composed of a specific chiral cyclic β-aminoguanidine and an optional achiral phosphoric acid diester, were designed demonstrated to serve as readily accessible, noncovalently tunable, versatile asymmetric organocatalysts.

DFT calculations supported salt’s predicted structure, revealing that host’s guanidine moiety interacts with guest...
