title: Is 2,3,4,5-tetramethoxybenzoyl chloride a natural product?
abstract: The title compound, which was reported to be a constituent of the fruiting body of the fungus Antrodia camphorata, has been synthesized. The reactivity and spectroscopic properties of the synthetic material do not match those of the natural product. There is currently insufficient information for a definitive structural reassignment.
