Jm. Jacyno et al., STRUCTURE AND SOLUTION-STATE CONFORMATION OF BOTCINOLIDE, A NEW BIOLOGICALLY-ACTIVE METABOLITE FROM THE FUNGUS BOTRYTIS-CINEREA, Tetrahedron, 50(40), 1994, pp. 11585-11592
The structure of botcinolide, a new, phytotoxic, trihydroxylated nona-
lactone, esterified with 4-hydroxy-2-octenoic acid, has been elucidate
d using both spectroscopic and chemical techniques. Botcinolide is a m
etabolite of the mould Botrytis cinerea (UK185RRC).
