The Enigma of Sponge-Derived Terpenoid Isothiocyanate–Thiocyanate Pairs: A Biosynthetic Proposal

The co-occurrence of rare terpenoid thiocyanates (R-SCN), structurally similar to their more common isothiocyanate isomers (R-NCS), poses an enigma: how does the accepted path, terpenyl cation R<sup>+</sup> → R-NC → R-NCS, accommodate R-SCN? The mystery can now be rationalized by the con...
