Quantitative 2H NMR spectroscopy 2. “H/D-Isotope portraits” of cyclic monoterpenes and discrimination of their biosynthetic pathways

Abstract: Site specific deuterium distribution in molecules of the representative series of natural monoterpenes was studied by quantitative 2 H NMR spectroscopy. "H/D isotope portraits" of these compounds have general characteristic features reflecting biosynthetic pathways. The data obtained suggest that monoterpenes in plants are formed through 1 deoxy D xylulose 5 phosphate (DXP pathway) rather than by the classical mevalonate scheme.

“…These alternating hydrogen and carbon isotope patterns of CH 2 -chains are incompatible with a thermodynamic order (Section 2.1.3). Another example is the pathway-dependent 2 H pattern and 13 C content of isoprenoids [33,[206][207][208], whereas thermodynamics would demand an absolute independence of isotopic patterns from the pathway of synthesis. These findings demonstrate the existence of a reproducible 'order' in metabolism, produced by reaction mechanisms and KIEs (Figure 3, after [189]).…”

“…The 2 H NMR spectrum of compound 1 has been investigated in our earlier study. 1 The relative intensities of the lines in the 2 H NMR spectrum of compound 2 were not determined with sufficient accuracy because of the strong over lap of the signals. Hence, ketone 2 was reduced according to Scheme 1 to endo 4 (1 hydroxyethyl) 2 carene (3), whose 2 H NMR spectrum is rather well resolved (Fig.…”
