Precursor feeding experiments establish that the isocyanide groups in xanthocillin-X monomethyl ether (XME) 1 do not originate from (i) compounds associated with C1-tetrahydrofolate metabolism; (ii) the ureido group of citrulline, carbamoyl pho

(2S)-Tyrosine (5) is incorporated stereospecifically into tuberin (1) with retention of the 3-pro-S proton and incomplete retention of the 2-S proton; a parallel pathway to the xanthocillin (4) is apparent with stereospecific retention of the 3-pro-R proton of tyrosine; results of experiments with threo- and erythro-3-hydroxytyrosine in relation to tuberin biosynthesis are reported.
