Abstract

LC/MS-based chemical screening of fungal extract fraction library led to identification of three 2,3-aryl substituted furanone metabolites (1？3), including one known butenolide glycoside (1) whose stereochemistry remained unsolved and two new compounds gotjawaside and gotjawalide (2 and 3), from Auxarthron sp. KCB15F070, a fungus isolated from a soil sample of the volcanic island Jeju, Korea. Their planar structures were elucidated by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic and HRESIMS spectrometric techniques, and the absolute configurations of three compounds were solved using a combination of chemical derivatizations and computational analysis of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra.
