Stilbenecarboxylic acid

The alignment of 4 -chloro-4-stilbenecarboxylic acid (CSC) intercalated in Mg/Al LDHs has been investigated [197] by electric linear dichroism, which indicated that the guest anions were intercalated as a double layer, with the tilt of the molecular plane being 40°.

Stilbenes Polyketides (see) formed from one molecule of cinnamic acid and three molecules of malo-nyl-CoA. The immediate precursors of S. are the corresponding stilbenecarboxylic acids, which have a carboxyl group at C 2 of ring A (Fig.). Different S. synthases are specific for either cinnamoyl-CoA or p-coumaryl-CoA as substrates. Although S. synthase and chalcone synthase use the same substrates, they are distinct enzymes (antibodies to one do not cross-react with the other). S. synthase has been purified from cell suspension cultures of Arachis hypogaea...
