10-deacetylbaccatin III
10-Deacetylbaccatins are a series of closely related natural organic compounds isolated from the yew tree (Genera ''Taxus''). 10-Deacetylbaccatin III is a precursor to the anti-cancer drug docetaxel (Taxotere). 10-deacetylbaccatin III 10-O-acetyltransferase, 10-deacetylbaccatin III 10-''O''-acetyltransferase converts 10-deacetylbaccatin to baccatin III: :acetyl-CoA + 10-deacetylbaccatin III CoA + baccatin III External links * - 7-Epi-10-Deacetylbaccatin III * - 10-Deacetylbaccatin V * - 10-Deacetylbaccatin VI * - 13-Epi-10-Deacetylbaccatin III * - 13-[3-(2-Naphthyl)prop-2-enoyl]-2-debenzoyl-2-(4-methoxybenzoxyl)-10-deacetylbaccatin III * - 10-''N'',''N''-Dimethylglycyl-13-[3-(2-Naphthyl)prop-2-enoyl]-10-deacetylbaccatin III Benzoate esters Secondary alcohols Tertiary alcohols Ketones Diterpenes Acetate esters {{ketone-stub ...

Methanol
Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the formula C H3 O H (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH). It is a light, volatile, colourless, flammable liquid with a distinctive alcoholic odour similar to that of ethanol (potable alcohol). A polar solvent, methanol acquired the name wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly by the destructive distillation of wood. Today, methanol is mainly produced industrially by hydrogenation of carbon monoxide. Methanol consists of a methyl group linked to a polar hydroxyl group. With more than 20 million tons produced annually, it is used as a precursor to other commodity chemicals, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl tert-butyl ether, methyl benzoate, anisole, peroxyacids, as well as a host of more specialised chemicals. Occurrence Small amounts of methanol are present in normal, healthy hu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
