4. The original publication contains two inconsistent spellings, "leiodelide" and "leiodolide". We use the "olide" nomenclature to denote the macrolide character of these metabolites.
5. Degradation studies proved the S configuration at C28 in leiodolide A. Interestingly, however, small amounts of the 28R epimer were also detected, suggesting that the biosynthetic formation of this remote center may not be stereospecific.
6. The THF ring of 2 shows remote resemblance to the core region of amphidinolide X and Y, two macrolides that were previously the subjects of total synthesis and a molecular editing exercise in our laboratory

45. One possibility is that the α-hydroxy-α-methyl carboxylic acid terminus in 2 is R rather than S configured (see Ref. [4]), although it is not clear that this change would have an impact on the chemical shift of so many remote C atoms. Likewise, Table 1 shows both olefinic regions as "hotspots", but the chemical shift differences are not large enough to suggest misassigned geometries.
46. 1H NMR spectrum of leiodolide B depicted in the Supporting Information of the isolation paper clearly shows the presence of an impurity (ca. 5-10 %).
