Oxidative rearrangements are key reactions during the biosyntheses of many secondary metabolites in fungi. This review highlights the most important examples of these reactions and aims to draw together key mechanistic ...

The biosynthetic pathways towards the polyketides terrein and (dimeric) sorbicillinoids, such as the Diels-Alder derived bisorbicillinol, were investigated. Both pathways were reconstituted step by step in Aspergillus ...
