The curcial steps in the present synthesis involve the ring expansion of tetrahydropyran to oxepane, 6- endo cyclization of epoxy alcohol, and insertion of a C-4 unit to the A-ring. [journal.csj.jp]
Since present trends in nutrient loading are assumed to have skewed some historically stable situations towards higher N: P ratios, the stimulation of toxin production by P-limiting media has important ecological consequences; in niches where DIN: DIP [archimer.ifremer.fr]
