Monoterpene-alcohols from a mushroom Dictyophora indusiata

Abstract Five monoterpene-alcohols were isolated from a mushroom Dictyophora indusiata , one of which was identified as 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene-3,4-diol and its absolute configuration was determined as (3 R ,4 S ). The structures of the other four were, 4- [ (3 R ,4 S )-3-hydroxy-3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dienyl ( Z )-9-octadecenoate, 4- [ (3 R ,4 S )-3-hydroxy-3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dienyl (9 Z ,12 Z )-9,12-octadecadienoate, 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene-3,4,5-triol, bis [6- (3,4,7-trihydroxy-3,7-dimethyloctenyl) ether, as determined by means of spectral and chemical methods.
