, p. 469 - 472 (2007/10/02)
-2'-Methylreticuline has been synthesized by standard methods.This modified opium alkaloid precursor is efficiently incorporated by aberrant biosynthesis into alkaloid fractions of Papaver somniferum, particularly into a highly purified codeine fraction.Key Word Index - Papaver somniferum; Papaveraceae; morphine alkaloids; aberrant biosynthesis; 2'-methylreticuline.
