title: First synthesis of (+/-)-basidifferquinone C, an inducer for fruiting-body formation in Polyporus arcularius.
abstract: Basidifferquinones, isolated from Streptomyces sp., are potent inducers of fruiting-body formation in the basidiomycete, Polyporus arcularius. The first synthesis of (+/-)-basidifferquinone C was accomplished by starting from 3,5-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.
