Abstract
Three new phenyl-ethanediols, (1R)-(3-ethenylphenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (1), (1R)-(3-formylphenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (2), and (1R)-(3-acetophenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (3), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of the mushroom Fomes fomentarius, together with two related known compounds, (3-ethylphenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (4) and (4-acetophenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (5). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including extensive 2D NMR techniques. Compounds 1–3 showed weak antimicrobial activity.
