The use of conventional and unconventional reaction methodology for the hydrolysis of the acetate group in zaluzanin D (1) resulted in hydration of the 11,13 exocyclic bond along with deacetylation. But the microorganism E. coli selectively cleaved the acetate group to yield zaluzanin C (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
