Abstract
In screening for antifungal metabolites a novel compound,
cladobotryal, was isolated from the mycoparasitic fungus
Cladobotryum varium. Its structure was established as
(+)-(2R*,3R*)-2-[(Z)-
2-buten-2-yl]-3,7-dihydro-3-formyl-3-methyl-5-phenylfuro[2,3-b]pyr
idin-4(2H)-one on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and single
crystal X-ray analysis of its methyl hemiacetal. The fused
furo[2,3-b]pyridinone skeleton of cladobotryal seems unprecedented
within the chemical literature.
