Mellein and the related 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins are a family of natural products with interesting biological properties. The mechanisms of dihydroisocoumarin biosynthesis remain largely speculative today. Here we report the synthesis of mellein by a partially reducing iterative polyketide synthase (...
