Abstract:Among the monoterpenoid
aroma compounds formed by the
basidiomycete Cystostereum murrayi are
highly potent bicyclic benzofuran
derivatives. In addition to the dill ethers previously described in
a few fungi, two stereoisomers of the rare 3,6-dimethyl-3a,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-3H-1-benzofuran-2-one (1a and 2c), also known as dihydromenthofurolactones, and a C3-unsaturated
analogue (3a) are formed by C. murrayi. The analysis of synthesized reference standards of the lactones
allowed an unambiguous assignment of th… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
