“…(d) The retention of the carbon-oxygen bond at C-11 indicates that the tetrahydrofuran ring is formed by attack of a C-11 hydroxy function at C-8. A mechanism for this consistent with the observed 2 H and 1 8 0 labelling would be nucleophilic addition onto a quinonemethide intermediate (7) formed (Scheme 2) by oxidation of (6), the hydroxylated derivative of (5). A similar ring closure mechanism has been proposed in granaticin biosynthesis," and is supported by the co-occurrence of monocerin and fusarentin methyl ether (2) in F. larvarurn.…”

“…However, the mechanisms and sequence by which these units are linked remain largely speculative, partly because of lack of methods to follow changes in intermediate oxidation states. In response there is agrowing interest in determination of the biosynthetic fate of precursor hydrogens using 2H nmr (2) and of oxygens using mass spectrometry (3,4). The latter technique can detect both commonlyemployed stable isotopes of oxygen, I7O and IsO, but ascertaining the exact structure of the mass spectrometric fragments in partially-labeled polyoxygenated molecules is often difficult.…”

“…spectrum in which many of the peaks appear doubled. Therefore the natural product was treated with sodium borohydride, followed by methylation of the resulting acid with diazomethane to give the derivative (2) in which one of the chiral centres has been destroyed (Scheme 1). The 13C n.m.r.…”
