Sr. Desai et al., INDOLE IS AN INTERMEDIATE IN THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF CYCLIC HYDROXAMIC ACIDS IN MAIZE, Chemical communications, (11), 1996, pp. 1321-1321
Mass spectrometry, deuterium NMR and TLC radioactivity analysis of ,4-
dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA) 8, recovered
from maize shoots grown in the presence of indole-[H-2(6)] and 2-[C-14
]indole show that indole is a precursor of DIMBOA.
