Abstract: The aromatic polyketide 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid (DMOA) serves as a precursor for many fungal meroterpenoids. A large portion of DMOA-derived meroterpenoids are biosynthesized via the cyclization of (6R,10′R)-epoxyfarnesyl-DMOA methyl ester (1). Theoretically, although 1 can be… read more here.
