Formation of N′-ethyl-S-nornicotine by transformed root cultures of Nicotiana rustica
摘要:
N-Ethylputrescine dihydrochloride has been synthesized by an improved procedure and it is converted by transformed root cultures of Nicotiana rustica into the nicotine analogue, N'-ethyl-S-nornicotine, preferentially in the optically active S-form, with an efficiency similar to that of the corresponding natural process.
