Abstract
THE proposed1 structure I for the fluorescent Y base isolated2,3 from baker's yeast tRNAPhe has received support from independent data by Thiebe et al.4, and been established by total synthesis; the configuration of the chiral centre has also been established as L (ref. 4a). The very closely related structure IV has been assigned to the “Y” base from brewer's yeast5.
