✦ Synopsis


Biosynthesis of non-head-to-tail monoterpenes as a model for biosynthesis of the biologically important triterpene squalene continues to be of interest. 1,293 The occurrence and in particular the absolute stereochemistry of two new recently reported monoterpenes, J-4 and &,5 isolated from sagebrushes Artemesia ludoviciana and A. tridentata respectively lent support to the hypothesis that (lh, 3@ chrysanthemyl Cl0 analogue of pre-squalene pyrophosphate, is the biogenetic precursor tail monoterpenes with chrysanthemyl and santolinyl skeletons (e.g. 1&
