Biosynthesis of lignans. Part I . Biosynthesis of Arctiin (3) and Phillyrin (5) [PDF]
Lignans constitute a class of naturally occuring phenolic compounds, widely distributed in higher plants. They are formally composed of two phenylpropanoid units, stercospecifically joined at the /f-carbon atoms of their side chains. Their biosynthesis
