Biogenetic-Type Syntheses of Polyketide Metabolites

  • Chapter

Abstract

The term “polyketide” was coined in 1907 by Collie (37) and later defined more explicitly by Birch (13) to describe the aromatic natural products which are formed in nature from acetic acid via β-polycarbonyl intermediates. Biosynthetically, the polyketides arise by the acyl polymalonate route, which also produces the fatty acids. The latter are formed from linear arrays of acetate units but not via polycarbonyl intermediates.
