12. Note that ircinin-4 (2) contains 21 (!) C-atoms. This raises the question whether its biosynthesis proceeds by degradation of a sesterterpene or by addition of a C-1 unit to a diterpenoid precursor. Arguments in favor of the former possibility are launched in: Minale, L.; Cimino, G.; De Stefano, S.; Sodano, G. Fortschritte der Chemie Organischer Naturstoffe 1976, 33, 1-72.

24. Compounds 9-12 are obtained as mixtures of stereoisomers. Since all of them converge into product 6, the synthesis depicted in Scheme 4 was carried out with these mixtures and no attempts were made to isolate the individual compounds.
