Chromatography of the fungal sesquiterpene merulidial ( 1a ) on alumina gel resulted in its rapid oxidation to give the hydroxylated derivative 2a and the deformylated derivative 3 . Compared with compound 4 , obtained previously by oxidation of merulidial ( 1a ) with pyridinium chlorochromate, the configuration of the hydroxylated C‐9 in compound 2a is inverted.
