Chemistry:Elisabethatriene

From HandWiki

Elisabethatriene is a bicyclic compound found in the marine octocoral Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae.[1] It is proposed to act as an intermediate in the synthesis of pseudopterosin or dehydrogenates into erogorgiaene.[2] It is the product of catalysis of geranylgeranyl diphosphate using the Elisabethatriene synthase enzyme.[3] Its stereochemistry is identical to the stereochemistry of elisabethatrienol.[1]
