Our continuous search for phytoalexins from crucifers led us to examine phytoalexin production in florets of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) under abiotic (UV light) elicitation. Four known (isalexin, S-(-)-spirobrassinin, 1-methoxybrassitin, brassicanal C) and three new (caulilexins A-C) phytoalexins were isolated. The syntheses and antifungal activity of caulilexins A-C against the economically important pathogenic fungi Leptosphaeria maculans, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and the first synthesis of brassicanal C are reported.
