(+)-Pisatin Biosynthesis: From (-) Enantiomeric Intermediates via an Achiral Isoflavene
Pterocarpan phytoalexins are antimicrobial compounds produced by legumes when challenged by biotic stresses. Most legumes produce pterocarpan phytoalexins with (-)-stereochemistry but pea (Pisum sativum L.) produces as its major phytoalexin (+)-pisatin. Pea also occasionally produces a minor amoun...
