Abstract
Propenyl-and allyl-phenols, such as methylchavicol, p-anol and eugenol, have gained importance as flavoring agents and also as putative precursors in the biosynthesis of 9, 9′- deoxygenated lignans, many of which have potential medicinal applications. In spite of several decades of investigation, however, the complete biosynthetic pathway to a propenyl/allylphenol had not yet been reported. We have subjected a Thai basil variety ...
