Studies in mycological chemistry. Part XXX and last. Isolation and structure of purpuride, a metabolite of Penicillium purpurogenum stoll
Abstract
The isolation and characterisation of purpuride, a metabolite of Penicillium purpurogenum Stoll, is recorded. Its structural elucidation, by direct X-ray analysis and determination of the chirality of one of the asymmetric centres in the molecule, is described. Purpuride is the N-acetyl-L-valine ester (1) of 1α-hydroxydrim-8-en-12,11-olactone.
