Abstract
Previously unidentified metabolites of ent-kaur-16-ene and ent-kaur-16 -en-19-oic acid in shoots of maize are identified, respectively, as en t-17-hydroxykaur-15-ene and ent-17-hydroxykaur-15-en-19-oic acid by GC -MS comparison with authentic samples. The production of the two latte r compounds from the first two substances is analogous to the metaboli sm of gibberellin A(5) to gibberellin A(3) and provides two further ex amples, in plants, of hydroxylation at a double bond with rearrangemen t of the double bond.
