H.;(E)-4-Hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl Diphosphate: An Intermediate in the Formation of Terpenoids in Plant ChromoplastsAngew. Chem. Int.

The missing link in the new deoxyxylulose phosphate metabolic pathway leading to the biosynthesis of plant terpenoids has been identified. The intermediate between the cyclic diphosphate 1 and the basic isoprenoid building blocks dimethylallyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate has been shown for the first time to be (E )‐4‐hydroxy‐3‐methylbut‐2‐enyl diphosphate (2 ) by incorporation of tritium‐labeled 2 into phytoene.
