Five monoterpene-alcohols were isolated from a mushroom Dictyophora indusia
ta. one of which was identified as 3.7-dimethyl- 1,6-octadiene-3.3-diol and
its absolute configuration was determined as (3R,4S). The structures of th
e other four were, 4-[(3R,4S)-3-hydroxy-3,7-dimethylocta-1.6-dienyl(Z)-9-oc
tadecenoate]: 4-[(3R,4S)-3-hydroxy-3.7-dimethylocta-1,6-dienyl(9Z,12Z)-9, 1
2-octadecadienoate, 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene-3.4.5-triol]. bis[6-(3.4.7-t
rihydroxy-3,7-dimethylocteny)ether]. as determined by means of spectral and
chemical methods. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
