RT journal article T1 nor-Mevaldic acid surrogates as selective antifungal agent leads against Botrytis cinerea. Enantioselective preparation of 4-hydroxy-6-(1-phenylethoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one A1 Botubol Ares, José Manuel A1 Durán Peña, María Jesús A1 Hernández Galán, Rosario A1 González Collado, Isidro A1 M.

These compounds were selectively active against B. cinerea, while inactive against C. gloeosporioides.
