N2  - The structurally unique depsidone furfuric acid (1) has been prepared in one step by the acid-catalysed alkylation of methyl p- orsellinate (6) or of atranorin (4) with physodalic acid (7). This mode of synthesis gives credence to the proposal that (1) is an artefact of the isolation procedure rather than a true metabolite of the lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea .
