(2019) Acid-Catalysed rearrangement of the sandfly pheromone sobralene to verticillenes, consolidating its relationship inter alia to the taxanes and phomactins. SYNLETT, 30 (16), pp. 1899-1903.0936-521410.1055/s-0039-1690131http://hdl.handle.net/2436/623038© 2019 Thieme. All rights reserved. The sex-aggregation pheromone sobralene produced by the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis is isomerised to verticillenes in the presence of mild acid, thereby providing credence to the proposal that sobralene is a likely shunt metabolite of the taxadiene synthase cascade.application/pdfenpheromonesandflyverticillenesmetabolitetaxadieneJournal article1437-2096Synlett2020-01-31
