Chemical compound
Erysodienone is a key precursor in the biosynthesis of many Erythrina-produced alkaloids.[1] Early work was done by Derek Barton and co-workers to illustrate the biosynthetic pathways towards erythrina alkaloids.[2][3][4] It was demonstrated that erysodienone could be synthesized from simple starting materials by a similar approach as its biosynthetic pathway, which led to the development of the biomimetic synthesis of erysodienone.[5]
