The azoxy compound lyophyllin (3) is formed in fruit-bodies of the toadstool Lyophyllum connatum by oxidative condensation of N-hydroxy-N',N'-dimethylurea (2) with N-methylhydroxylamine (4). The condensing enzyme is remarkably unspecific and transforms a variety of hydroxyureas and N-alkyl-hydroxylamines into the corresponding lyophyllin analogues 5.
