37. 15 halogenated 2,2′-bifuranyl natural products had been reported. A 2,2′-bifuranyl structure for elatenyne was considered less likely than the corresponding pyrano[3,2-b]pyran: J. G. Hall, PhD Thesis, La Trobe University (Australia), 1984.
38. Unlike a number of pyrano[3,2-b]pyrans we synthesized, neither elatenyne nor the enyne from L. majuscula are crystalline which may be partly because of the extra degree of freedom around the central C-C bond in 2,2′-bifuranyl units.
