Terphenylquinones
Terphenylquinones are fungal dyes from the group of phenyl-substituted p-benzoquinones having the following general structure.[1]
General chemical structure of terphenylquinones
Also derivatives with a central o-benzoquinone structure are known.
Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of terphenylquinones is carried out by dimerization of substituted oxophenylpropanoic acids (phenylpyruvic acids).
Occurrence
Terphenylquinones are typical constituents of the boletales.

gollark: Logically, your risk of imploding is 50% whenever I say that. Cool, right?
gollark: Anyway, did you know that you'll either implode or not implode in the next femtosecond?
gollark: Hermaphrodite things exist and you can easily imagine aliens with more or fewer sexes.
gollark: Not all binary choices have even odds either way, and there are more than 2 anyway.
