Description

The formation of 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxyanthraquinone from alkaline hydrolysis of averufin is described. The utility of this reaction in a further investigation of averufin biosynthesis is explored. The structure of 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxyantraquinone was based on a comparison of its physical properties and on an examination of its 1H and 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts
