The cleavage of a C-C bond is a complexity generating process, which complements oxidation and cyclisation events in the biosynthesis of terpenoids. This process leads to increased structural diversity in a cluster of related secondary metabolites by modification of the parent carbocyclic core. In this review, we highlight the diversifying effect of C-C bond cleavage by examining the literature related to seco-labdanes-a class of diterpenoids arising from such C-C bond cleavage events.
C-C 键的断裂是一个产生复杂性的过程,它与萜类化合物生物合成中的氧化和环化事件相辅相成。通过对母体碳环核心的修饰,该过程导致了一组相关的次生代谢物中结构多样性的增加。在这篇综述中,我们通过检查与 sec o- labdanes 相关的文献,强调了 C-C 键断裂的多样化效应,sec o- labdanes 是一类源自这种 C-C 键断裂事件的二萜类化合物。
