Tritiated derivatives of the toxic sesquiterpene illudin S (1) have be
en prepared by fermentation of Omphalotus illudens in the presence of
[H-3]-sodium acetate. [H-3]-illudin S was converted to antitumor [H-3]
-acylfulvene (4) by treatment with dilute sulfuric acid. Antitumor [C-
14]-hydroxymethylacylfulvene (5) was best prepared by reacting acylful
vene with [C-14]-paraformaldehyde in dilute sulfuric acid.
