C.; Pattenden, Gerald TI - Acid-Catalysed Rearrangement of the Sandfly Pheromone Sobralene to Verticillenes, Consolidating its Relationship inter alia to the Taxanes and Phomactins SN - 0936-5214 SN - 1437-2096 PY - 2019 JO - Synlett JF - Synlett LA - EN VL - 30 IS - 16 SP - 1899 EP - 1903 ET - 2019/08/13 DA - 2019/09/16 KW - pheromone KW - sandfly KW - verticillenes KW - metabolite KW - taxadiene AB - The sex-aggregation pheromone sobralene produced by the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis is isomerised to verticillenes in the presence of mild acid, thereby providing credence to the proposal that sobralene is a likely shunt metabolite of the taxadiene synthase cascade.
