Abstract
The valence tautomer 2-carbomethoxyoxepin: 1-carbomethoxybenzene 1,2-oxide ( 1) has been isolated from liquid cultures of the wood-rotting fungus Phellinus tremulae. Methyl salicylate 2, a rearrangement product of the arene oxide 1, is produced by the same fungus. The biogenetic implications of these findings are discussed.
