Strobilurin

Strobilurin A : Strobilurin A (also known as mucidin) is produced by Oudemansiella mucida, Strobilurus tenacellus, Bolinea lutea, and others. When first isolated it was incorrectly assigned as the E E E geometric isomer but was later identified by total synthesis as being the E Z E isomer, as shown. 9-Methoxystrobilurin A 9-Methoxystrobilurin A is produced by Favolaschia spp. Later it was found in cultures of the basidiomycete fungi Mycena polygramma and Xerula melanotricha. The latter fungus also produces oudemansin B, with R1 = MeO and R2 = Cl. Oudemansin X, with R1 = H and R2 = MeO was isolated from Oudemansiella radicata. ==Synthetic strobilurins==

The discovery of the strobilurin class of fungicides led to the development of a group of commercial fungicides used in agriculture. Examples are shown below. Image:Azoxystrobin.svg| Image:Trifloxystrobin.svg| Image:Kresoxim-methyl-2D-skeletal.png| Image:Pyraclostrobin.png| == See also ==
