The base catalysed hydrolysis of the antibiotic verrucarin A (C 27 H 34 O 9 ) yields three products: (1) verrucarol (C 15 H 22 O 4 ), a new sesquiterpene which is probably bicyclic, (2) muconic acid (C 6 H 6 O 4 ), a new sesquiterpene which is probably bicyclic, (2) muconic acid (C 6 H 6 O 4 ; cis , cis or cis , trans ) and (3) verrucarinolactone (C 6 H 10 O 3 ), the δ‐lactone of the hitherto unknown trans‐α,δ‐dihydroxy‐β‐methylvaleric acid. The absolute configuration of verrucarinolactone is deduced by its correlation with (R)‐(+)‐methylsuccinic acid. Verrucarinic acid represents a new natural isomer of mevalonic acid.
