The natural products of both eremofortin C (EC) and PR toxin are secondary metabolites of Penicillium roqueforti. Because the chemical structures of EC and PR toxin are closely related to each other and differ only by a hydroxyl functional group in EC and an aldehyde functional group in PR toxin at the C-12 position, the chemical transformation of EC into PR toxin was investigated. Oxidation with a chromic anhydride-pyridine complex was found to be the most satisfactory method.
蠕孢菌素C(EC)和PR毒素的天然产物均为罗克福青霉的次生代谢产物。由于EC和PR毒素的化学结构彼此密切相关,仅在C-12位上,EC有一个羟基官能团而PR毒素有一个醛基官能团,因此对EC向PR毒素的化学转化进行了研究。发现用铬酸酐-吡啶络合物氧化是最令人满意的方法。
