Substrate specificity in the novel biotransformation from 2-pyrone derivatives to substituted benzoic acids by Macrophoma commelinae (IFO 9570) was investigated by means of feeding experiments with various compounds.Among them, 2-pyrone derivatives substituted by an electron-donating group at C-4, by an electron-withdrawing group at C-5 and by an alkyl group at C-6 were converted to the corresponding benzoic acid derivatives in fairly good yields.The C3-unit precursors and intermediates were examined in stationary or shaking culture.Based on the experimental results obtained, a mechanism for this unique reaction is proposed. macrophoma commelinae IFO 9570; fungi; 2-pyrone; substituted benzoic acid; biotransformation; substrate specificity; aromatic ring formation; macrophomic acid

From 5-acetyl-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-α-pyrone, two phytotoxins, pyrenocine A and B, were synthesised and erroneous γ-pyrone structure of the starting compound was corrected on the basis of spectroscopic data.
