Constituents of the higher fungi. Part XVI. Bulgarhodin and Bulgarein, novel benzofluoranthenequinones from the fungus Bulgaria inquinans(Fries)

Abstract
Three crystalline quinones have been isolated from the fungus Bulgaria inquinans. Two of these have been identified as derivatives of benzo[j]fluoranthene and the third characterised as 4,9-dihydroxyperylene-3,10-quinone. This is the first recorded isolation of a natural product with structure based on the benzofluoranthene nucleus.
