Can I read Colchicine Is Formed by Para-para Phenol Coupling from Autumnaline on EtoBox?
Colchicine Is Formed by Para-para Phenol Coupling from Autumnaline by Ulrich H. Maier; Meinhart H. Zenk is a Chemistry article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Colchicine Is Formed by Para-para Phenol Coupling from Autumnaline about?
In order to distinguish between ortho-para and para-para phenol coupling in colchicine biosynthesis, [3'-O14CH3]autumnaline was converted to [14C]colchicine in seeds of Colchicum autumnale and the product was then selectively demethylated by a bacterium that exclusively demethylates C-3 of colchicine. The retention of the radioactive label in 3-demethylcolchicine indicates that biosynthesis proceeds through para-para coupling.
