Abstract
In contrast to the stepwise oxidative dealkylation of steroids [Eq. (1)], (+)-marmesin (1) is directly converted by the psoralen synthase (a cytochrome P450) into the phototoxic furanocoumarin psoralen (2) and acetone. The dealkylation proceeds as a syn elimination. © 1999 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, Weinheim, Fed. Rep. of Germany.Entities:
