Total Synthesis of Geranyl-Resorcinols Isolated from Mushrooms of Genus Hericium

This work was supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) KAKENHI Grant Number 21K05407.


Abstract

This Short Review covers the total synthesis of tetraketide-based meroterpenoids, i.e. geranyl-resorcinols, isolated from the mushrooms of genus Hericium. Some of these compounds are believed to be involved in the unique health-promoting effects of Hericium erinaceus. Herein, more than seventy natural products identified so far have been classified into seven-types based on both assumed biosynthetic pathways and chemical structures, and the successful total syntheses are summarized according to the structural type.
