(23) (a) Fitzgerald, M. A.; Gunning, P. J. M.; Donnelly, D. M. X. J.
Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1976, 186−191. The absolute
configuration at C-3 in 2d prepared by acetylation of dihydrodaidzein
(“III”) isolated from Pericopsis mooniana was mistakenly assigned as
(R) due to generation of the wrong stereochemical descriptor for the
correctly drawn structure “III”; see also: (b) Shimada, Y.; Takahashi,
M.; Miyazawa, N.; Abiru, Y.; Uchiyama, S.; Hishigaki, H. Appl. Environ.
Microbiol. 2012, 78, 4902−4907. See also: (c) Park, H.-Y.; Kim, M.;

(24) Wang, X.-L.; Shin, K.-H.; Hur, H.-G.; Kim, S.-I. J. Biotechnol.
2005, 115, 261−269. The absolute configuration at C-3 in the
enantiomer “DHD1” of 3 isolated by chiral HPLC separation of rac-3
was mistakenly assigned as (R) due to confusing dihydrodaidzein
(with incorrect assignment of its absolute configuration, see ref 23)
with its diacetate.
