10-Bromo-?-chamigrene, a compound isolated from marine algae, is thought to be biosynthesized from ?-bisabolene by the following route: ?-bisabolene "Br+" bromo-peroxidase enzyme bromonium ion cyclic carbocation base (-H+) Br 10-bromo-?-chamigrene

Step 1
The biosynthesis likely begins with the enzyme-catalyzed bromination of β-bisabolene, a common terpene. This would involve the addition of a bromine atom to the molecule, possibly through the formation of a bromonium ion intermediate. Show more…
