Cortamidine Oxide

In a long-standing collaboration, Blunt and Munro utilized 3 mm probe capabilities in characterizing the structure of a novel, unsymmetrical disulfide metabolite, cortamidine oxide (66) from the New Zealand bascidiomycete (mushroom) Cortinarius sp.141 Two other symmetrical dimeric disulfides, 67 and 68, isolated and characterized by the authors in the same study were suspected to be oxidative degradants of 66.
