Use of2H–13C n.m.r. coupling patterns in terpenoid biosynthesis

Abstract
The heteronuclear 2H-13C n.m.r. coupling pattern of methyl botryaloate, a relative of dihydro-botrydial, derived from [4-2H2, 4-13C]mevalonic acid, has been used distinguish between two possible pathways for a biosynthetic rearrangement; a 1:3 hydrogen shift occurs.
