Relevant academic research and scientific papers

An efficient synthesis of oosporein

Fungal metabolite oosporein was prepared in four steps and 24% overall yield starting from 2,5-dimethoxytoluene. It was demonstrated that treatment of phoenicin with pyrrolidine and copper(II) acetate led to oosporein, whereas similar treatment of the isomeric 'isophoenicin' produced a benzofuran diquinone. No chromatography was required during any step of the synthesis.

Rust disease control by Aphanocladium album and/or Beauveria brongniartii

There is disclosed a method and composition for controlling rust disease in plants. Metabolites produced by Aphanocladium album mycoparasites are recovered and applied in an effective amount to plants at risk for acquiring rust disease More specifically,
