Examination of the constituents of a B. cinerea mutant that overproduces polyketides gave sufficient quantities of 1, now named cinbotolide, for chemical transformations. These led to a revised γ-butyrolactone structure for the metabolite. This structure has been confirmed by an asymmetric total synthesis, which also established its absolute configuration.}, publisher = {ACS Publications}, title = {The Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Cinbotolide: A Revision of the Original Structure}, doi = {10.1021/jo501471m}, author = {Botubol Ares, José Manuel and Durán Peña, María Jesús and Macías Sánchez, Antonio José and R.
