Biosynthesis of Depsides, Depsidones, and Diphenyl Ethers from Fungi and Lichens
Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2025.Depsides are a class of natural products in which two or more (poly)phenolic acid derivatives are linked by an ester bond. Depsides and related natural products, such as depsidones and diphenyl ethers, are widespread in nature and exhibit a wide range of
