Conversion of arabinose 10 to the protected ketone 13 followed by Wittig condensation to 14, acidcatalysed cyclisation (to lactone 16), dehydration and deprotection provides a brief synthesis of the mycotoxic substance patulin 1, which is produced by Penicillium and Aspergillus spp.In a similar manner, the biogenetic precursor to patulin, neopatulin 8, is synthesized from lyxose 25 via the key intermediates 24, 28 and 30.
