Abstract
An orange pigment named echinotinctone was isolated from the wood-rott ing polypores Echinodontium tinctorium and Pyrofomes albomarginatus. I ts structure was elucidated as 2,6-dihydroxy-1,8-dimethyl-3H-xanthen-3 -one (1) on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical studies. 1 represe nts the first naturally occurring pigment with a simple fluorone chrom ophore.
