Abstract:
From the ethanolic extract of Lactarius blennius, a new sesquiterpene blennin D (2-hydroxyblennin A) was isolated and its structure elucidated together with the stereochemistry of the already known blennin A. Treatment of blennin A mesylate with DBU afforded a compound with a new skeleton.
