Oxytetracycline biosynthesis: mode of incorporation of [1-13C,18O2]acetate
Abstract
The regiospecific locations of [18O2]acetate-derived oxygen substituents of oxytetracycline (1) have been determined using the 13C n.m.r. isotope shift technique and shown to correspond exclusively to those oxygen-bearing carbons which originate biosynthetically from the carboxy group of acetate.
