Notes:
In higher plants, the two homoterpenes 4,8-dimethyinona-1,3,7-triene (1) and 4,8,12-trimethyltrideca-1,3,7,11-tetraene (2) are synthesized from the regular terpene alcohols nerolidol and geranyllinalool by fragmentation into the homoterpene and butenone. The biosynthetic pathway is evidenced by conversion of (2H)nerolidol in Hoya purpureo-fusca, Magnolia liliiflora nigra, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Philadelphus coronarius.
