Abstract
⺠2-Methyl-2-butenenitrile is new intermediate in biosynthesis of rhodiocyanosides. ⺠The aglycon of rhodiocyanoside A cyclizes to 3-methyl-2(5H)-furanone. ⺠Biosynthesis of cyanogenic glucosides and rhodiocyanosides branch at Ile-oxime. ⺠Transformation of Ile-ox to 2-methyl-2-butenenitrile is catalyzed by a P450.
