Abstract The natural highly substituted benzophenone childinin E (1) was previously isolated from the fungus Daldinia childiae. Here we describe the total synthesis of childinin E and several derivatives using a linear seven-step sequence. The antifungal properties of the synthesized compounds against Candida albicans were evaluated by an anti-hyphal formation test. Childnin E and two derivatives exhibited anti-hyphal formation activity.
