, p. 919 - 921 (2005)
Chemical investigations of the fermentation broth from the microfungus Xylaria sp. have afforded the new natural product 3-chloro-4- hydroxyphenylacetamide 1 and the previously reported fungal metabolite 3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid 2. This letter reports the isolation and full spectroscopic characterisation of compounds 1 and 2 by NMR, UV, IR and MS data. The crystal structure and one-pot synthesis of 3-chloro-4- hydroxyphenylacetamide are also reported.

The mixed open-chain imide N-(3-chloro-4-hydroxyphenylacetyl)fumarate (1), named coniothyriomycin, was isolated as a metabolite of the fungus Coniothyrium.The natural product 1 and the analoguos imides 13-15 and 22-24 have been synthesized by base-catalyzed condensation of the imidates 12a-f with acid chlorides 6a-c or the mixed anhydride 21.The compounds 1 and 13-15 were shown to posess remarkable fungicidal and herbicidal activities in short-termed tests. Key Words: Fungal metabolites / Imides, open-chain / Fungicidal activity / Coniothriomycin
