title: Biosynthetic studies of ebelactone A and B by 13C NMR spectrometry.
abstract: Biosynthetic pathways of ebelactone A and B were studied by 13C NMR spectroscopy. By using 13C labeled compounds as precursors it was determined that ebelactone A was derived from one molecule of acetic acid and six propionic acids and ebelactone B from one molecule of acetic acid, five propionic acids and one butyric acid.
