| Common Name | 2-C-Methyl-aldotetronolactone |
|---|
| Description | 2-C-Methyl-1,4-erythrono-D-lactone, 2-C-methyl-D-erythrono-1,4-lactone (MDEL) or 2-C-Methyl-Aldotetronolactone belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-membered ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, forming part of a carboxyl functional group. 2-C-Methyl-1,4-erythrono-D-lactone is a neutral, hydrophobic molecule that is not soluble in water. 2-C-Methyl-1,4-erythrono-D-lactone is a known constituent of Trifolium incarnatum (crimson clover) and Phaseolus vulgaris (kidney bean). It has also been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as green beans, pulses, tea, and yellow wax beans. It has been identified as an insect pheromone that acts as an oviposition stimulant for the Swallowtail butterfly (PMID: 11055405 ). 2-C-Methyl-1,4-erythrono-D-lactone is synthesized in plants via the terpenoid precursor 1‚Äêdeoxy‚ÄêD‚Äêxylulose, which is phosphorylated to 1‚Äêdeoxy‚ÄêD‚Äêxylulose‚Äê5‚Äêphosphate, which is then transformed by the enzyme 1‚Äêdeoxy‚ÄêD‚Äêxylulose‚Äê5‚Äêphosphate reducto isomerase to 2C‚ÄêMethyl‚ÄêD‚Äêerythritol‚Äê4‚Äêphosphate. This compound is then oxidized at the alcoholic group at C‚Äê1 to 2-Methyl-2,3,4-trihydroxybutanoic acid-4-phosphate by an uncharacterized dehydrogenase. Dephosphorylation yields the free acid which spontaneously forms the lactone. 2-C-Methyl-1,4-erythrono-D-lactone is one of a small number of lactones found in cannabis plants (PMID: 6991645 ). |
