The reactions involved in the putative biogenetic relationship between ferulenol and fercoprolone (double bond photooxygenation/epoxidation and hydroperoxide fragmentation/epoxide opening, Scheme 1) can also be invoked to rationalise the occurrence of other oxidised derivatives of ferulenol, suggesting that a general strategy of oxidative modification underlies the bewildering chemical diversity of the coumarinyl meroterpenoids from F. communis.
