Fungal metabolite oosporein was prepared in four steps and 24% overall yield starting from 2.5-dimethoxytoluene. It was demonstrated that treatment of phoenicin with pyrrolidine and copper(II) acetate led to oosporein, whereas similar treatment of the isomeric 'isophoenicin' produced a benzofuran diquinone. No chromatography was required during any step of the synthesis. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

There is disclosed a method and composition for controlling rust disease in plants. Metabolites produced by
Aphanocladium album
mycoparasites are recovered and applied in an effective amount to plants at risk for acquiring rust disease More specifically, the application of the metabolite converts infective urediniospores that cause rust disease into non-infective teliospores. In a more specific aspect, the metabolite is reacted with another substance or under a specific reaction to result in a different compound which is also effective against rust disease.
This process is a process for production of a vinyl chloride polymer by suspension polymerization or emulsion polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer or a mixture of vinyl chloride monomer with a vinyl monomer copolymerizable with said vinyl chloride monomer in an aqueous medium, characterized in that the polymerization is carried out in a polymerizer, the inner wall surface and portions of the auxiliary equipment thereof which may come into contact with the monomer during polymerization being previously coated with a scaling preventive comprising at least one selected from dyes, pigments and aromatic or heterocyclic compounds having at least 5 conjugated π bonds, while controlling the chloride ion concentration in the reaction mixture to not higher than 100 ppm. According to said process, scaling onto the inner wall surface of a polymerizer, etc. during polymerization can be prevented effectively and surely.
