additional information Penicillium roqueforti reaction is a a cyclisation cascade that leads to the generation of two 6-membered rings, three chiral centres, and two double bonds with high regio- and stereospecificity. Concurrent to diphosphate expulsion enzyme facilitates attack of C1 in farnesyl diphosphate by the C10, C11-double bond to produce germacryl cation. Proton loss from C12 leads to the production of (S)-germacrene A which is then postulated to undergo reprotonation of the C6, C7-double bond and a further cyclisation to form the bicyclic eudesmane cation. Successive 1,2-hydride shift and methyl migration followed by loss of H on C8 completes the generation of (+)-aristolochene ?
