Acetic Acid Derivatives

  • Chapter
Secondary Metabolism in Microorganisms, Plants and Animals

Abstract

Acetyl CoA, “activated acetic acid”, is the precursor of a large group of natural products. It is easily substituted nucleophilically at the carbonyl group and electrophilically at the methyl group (C 1.2).
