Trefolane A, a Sesquiterpenoid with a New Skeleton from Cultures of the Basidiomycete Tremella foliacea

Trefolane A (1), an unprecedented skeleton with a 5/6/4 tricyclic ring system, was isolated from cultures of the basidiomycete Tremella foliacea. The structure was elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods and further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. A possible biogenesis f...

Description
Summary:Trefolane A (1), an unprecedented skeleton with a 5/6/4 tricyclic ring system, was isolated from cultures of the basidiomycete Tremella foliacea. The structure was elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods and further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. A possible biogenesis for trefolane A (1) was also proposed.
