✦ Synopsis


It is demonstrated that linalyl acetate is biosynthesised via the non-mevalonate (l-deoxyxylulose phosphate) terpene pathway in the plant Mentha citrata. The incorporation of isotopically labelled DL-[3-2H3]-alanine and [6,6-2H2]-D-glucose has revealed that five of the deuterium atoms of 1-deoxyxylulose phosphate are retained during the biosynthesis of linalyl acetate.

The alkaloid pinidine ( 2) is acetate-derived, the administration of [l-%]acetate to Pinus jeffreyi plants affording pinidine which is labelled equally on alternate carbons 2. It is presumed that the alkaloid is formed from a Cl0 poly-B-keto acid (l\_) produced by the condensation of a 'starter' ace
