Abstract

Treatment of O-methyldihydrosterigmatocystin (III) with methanolic alkali under vigorous conditions effected opening of the furan ring to give the compound Va. Reaction of the corresponding acetate with lead tetra-acetate gave dihydroaspertoxin acetate which was converted into dihydroaspertoxin (VIb) by hydrolysis with dilute alkali.
