Chemical defense of the crust fungus Aleurodiscus amorphus by a tailor-made cyanogenic cyanohydrin ether

(Chemical Equation Presented) A mighty midget! When injured, the crust fungus A. amorphus (left in the picture) releases hydrocyanic acid by an oxidative mechanism so far unknown in nature. In contrast to cyanogenic glycosides in which the smooth hydrolysis of the glycoside bond is essential for the liberation of hydrocyanic acid, in aleurodisconitrile the oxidation-prone aromatic moiety enables the release of hydrocyanic acid.
