A sesquiterpene epicedrol cyclase mechanism was elucidated based on the gas chromatography coupled to electron impact mass spectrometry fragmentation data of deuterated (<sup>2</sup>H) epicedrol analogues. The chemo-enzymatic method was applied for the specific synthesis of 8-position labelled farnesyl pyrophosphate and epicedrol. EI-MS fragmentation ions compared with non-labelled and isotopic mass shift fragments suggest that the <sup>2</sup>H of C6 migrates to the C7 position during the cycli ...[more]
