Natural product synthesis
« on: December 12, 2010, 11:34:05 PM »
Does anyone know the biosynthesis of this natural product? or at least its name.. ???
it is in the polyketides synthesis chapter and the doctor gave us a hint that we will need to start with something other than malonyl CoA.

because u cant get a hydroxymethylbenzoic when your synthesizing from acetyl-CoA and Malonyl-CoA either in aldol or claisen condensation.
