Three Pairs of New Isopentenyl Dibenzo[b,e]oxepinone Enantiomers from Talaromyces flavus, a Wetland Soil-Derived Fungus.

ABSTRACT: Three pairs of new isopentenyl dibenzo[b,e]oxepinone enantiomers, (+)-(5S)-arugosin K (1a), (-)-(5R)-arugosin K (1b), (+)-(5S)-arugosin L (2a), (-)-(5R)-arugosin L (2b), (+)-(5S)-arugosin M (3a), (-)-(5R)-arugosin M (3b), and a new isopentenyl dibenzo[b,e]oxepinone, arugosin N (4), were isolated from a wetland soil-derived fungus Talaromyces flavus, along with two known biosynthetically-related compounds 5 and 6. Among them, arugosin N (4) and 1,6,10-trihydroxy-8-methyl-2-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-dibenz[b,e]oxepin-11(6H)-one (CAS: 160585-91-1, 5) were obtained as the tautomeric mixtures. The structures of isolated compounds were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis. In addition, the absolute configurations of these three pairs of new enantiomers were determined by quantum chemical ECD
