Abstract

A red pigment, lilacinone (1), was isolated from fruit bodies of the toadstool Lactarius lilacinus. Its structure was established by 2D NMR and APCIMS methods. Compound 1 is a novel type of fungal aminobenzoquinone pigment and may be biosynthetically derived from three molecules of anthranilic acid.
