Chemical Studies in Fulgensia: Structures of Two New Chlorodepsidones

Fulgoicin, a new depsidone from the lichen Fulgensia fulgida(Nyl.)Szat.

“…Owing to constraints relating to the availability of the lichen material, structural elucidation of these two depsidones was limited to the use of spectroscopic methods. We now report a total synthesis of the dichlorodepsidone fulgoicin and confirm the assigned structure (1).…”
