Abstract

Metabolites of the Higher Fungi. Part 31. Longianone, a C 7 H 6 O 4 Spiro Bicyclic Lactone from the Fungus Xylaria longiana (Rehm.). -The new metabolite (I) possesses an unusual structure which is produced in static culture by the title fungus. The structure of longianone is confirmed by a single crystal X-ray determination. The possible biosynthetic origin is discussed. -(EDWARDS, RAYMOND L.; MAITLAND, DEREK J.; OLIVER, CLAIRE L.; PACEY, MICHAEL S.; SHIELDS, LEN; WHALLEY, ANTHONY J. S.; J. Chem.
