TLDR
In this paper, 1-hydroxy-3-methyl-6,8-dimethoxynaphthalene (VII) has been synthesized and shown to be identical with a phenol obtained from the degradation of eleutherinol dimethyl ether.
Abstract
1-Hydroxy-3-methyl-6,8-dimethoxynaphthalene (VII) has been synthesized and shown to be identical with a phenol obtained from the degradation of eleutherinol dimethyl ether. This synthesis establishes the formula VI for eleutherinol, in agreement with prediction on biogenetic grounds.

Structure and function of the chalcone synthase superfamily of plant type III polyketide synthases

TL;DR: This review covers recent advances in structure and function studies on the chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily of plant type III polyketide synthases (PKSs), which catalyze iterative decarboxylative condensations of malonyl unit with a CoA-linked starter molecule to produce structurally diverse, pharmaceutically important plant secondary metabolites.
