Culture solutions of the fungus Hypoxylon serpens (Barrons strain) contain a new butyrolactone as the major metabolite, which has been identified as 3-methoxy-4-methyl-5-prop-1-enylfuran-2(5H)-one (2),and small quantities of the reduced analogue, 3-methoxy-4-methyl-5-propylfuran-2(5H)-one (3); the structures have been established by synthesis of compound (3).A new rapid synthesis of the isomeric 4-methoxy-3,5-disubstituted analogues is described and the two groups of compounds are compared spectroscopically.
