Retraction of “Asymmetric Synthesis of Apratoxin E” Zhuo-Ya Mao, Chang-Mei Si, Yi-Wen Liu, Han-Qing Dong, Bang-Guo Wei,* and Guo-Qiang Lin J. Org. Chem. 2016, 81 (20), 9903−9911, DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.6b02086

T

he authors retract this article on the basis that the structure of the synthetic material originally thought to be apratoxin E is not the natural product. It is the 30-epimer, which was the first proposed structure. The corrected structure and related data are being published concurrently with this retraction notice in an article entitled “Divergent Synthesis of Revised Apratoxin E, 30-epi-Apratoxin E, and 30S/30ROxoapratoxin E”, DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.7b01598. The original article was published on September 20, 2016 and retracted on October 3, 2017.
