Abstract
The high field 13C n.m.r. Spectra of roquefortine derived from [1,2-13C2]acetate and [2,3-13C2]mevalonic acid lactone exhibit previously unobserved couplings, with shed light on the mode of incorporation of the isopentenyl moiety into roqurfortine; satellite resonances for numerous carbon atoms in the tryptophan-derived portion of [1,2-13C2]acetale-labelled roquefortine, can explained via the operation of the Krebs' cycle and the shikimate pathway.Keywords
