Biosynthesis of Paeonol

Abstract
Paeonol (1) in Paeonia suffruticosa was proved to be the metabolite of shikimic acid via phenylalanine and cinnamic acid. Feeding of 14C-labeled phenylalanine and cinnamic acid to the plants resulted in efficient incorporation of 14C into the corresponding position of I. Neither acetate nor malonate was incorporated significantly into I.
