Stereochemical and Biosynthetic Rationalisation of the Tropolone Sesquiterpenoids (open access)

Stereochemical and Biosynthetic Rationalisation of the Tropolone Sesquiterpenoids

Article summarises the known structures, biological activities, and biosynthetic pathways of the tropolone sesquiterpenoid family of fungal secondary metabolites. Synthesis of this knowledge allows likely structural and stereochemical misassignments to be revised and shows how the compounds can be divided into three main biosynthetic classes based on the stereochemistry of key biosynthetic steps.
