Detection of one symmetrical precursor during the biosynthesis of the fungal metabolite austdiol using [1,2-13C2]acetate and [Me-13C]methionine
Abstract
A13C n.m.r. analysis of [1,2-13C2]acetate- and [Me–13C]methionine-derived austdiol (1) is consistent with the symmetrical aldehyde (2) being a biosynthetic precursor of (1).
