Rearrangements of 1-Heterosubstituted Chrysanthemyl Aldehyde and Chrysanthemyl Amines
Abstract
dc:descriptionOne theory concerning the mechanism for the conversion of presqualene pyrophosphate to squalene involves postulation of a new intermediate (known locally as protosqualene pyrophosphate) which is a ring expanded analog of presqualene pyrophosphate. There is no direct evidence for this discrete new intermediate but a successful synthesis of it would facilitate, via biosynthetic incorporation studies, determination of whether or not such an intermediate does exist. With this goal in mind, research was undertaken to ascertain the feasibility of protosqualene pyrophosphate synthesis.
