Abstract
U-14C-L-Leucine and 4,5-3H-L-leucine were incorporated into linalool (I) in Cinnamomum Camphora Sieb. var. linalooliferum Fujita in 0.004% yield at the highest value. Its labeling patterns have indicated that DMAPP may originate not only from mevalonic acid but also from leucine not via the acid.Keywords
