A Detailed View on 1,8-cineol Biosynthesis by
Overview
Affiliations
The stereochemical course of the cyclisation reaction catalysed by the bacterial 1,8-cineol synthase from was investigated using stereospecifically deuterated substrates. In contrast to the well investigated plant enzyme from , the reaction proceeds via ()-linalyl diphosphate and the ()-terpinyl cation, while the final cyclisation reaction is in both cases a addition, as could be shown by incubation of (2-C)geranyl diphosphate in deuterium oxide.
