Clarifying the Configuration of Pandamine by an Extensive Spectroscopic Reinvestigation of the Authentic 1964 Sample
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Since its partial configurational assignment in 1964, pandamine has not been isolated or obtained by total synthesis. For decades, different works representing the structure of pandamine for illustrative purposes have lent different configurations to this molecule, causing tenacious confusion about the structure of this ansapeptide. A comprehensive spectroscopic analysis of the authentic pandamine sample led to the complete and unambiguous assignment of its configuration, 59 years after its isolation. In addition to ascertaining and completing the initial structural deductions by a state-of-the-art set of analytical techniques, the purpose of this study is also to clarify the literature in a context in which various erroneous structures have been attributed to pandamine for half a century. While fully in agreement with Goutarel's conclusions, the specific example of pandamine should serve as a cautionary tale to any chemist interested in natural products, encouraging access to initial structural assignments rather than relying solely on subsequent, possibly erroneous, structure depictions of a natural product.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
