Apparently Irregular Monoterpenes<br />

• Apparently irregular monoterpenes can also occur by non-cationic cyclisation of geranyl PP<br />

derivatives followed by extensive rearrangement<br />

– e.g. iridoids – named after Iridomyrmex ants but generally of plant origin and invariably glucosidated<br />

• e.g. seco-loganin (recall indole alkaloids) is a key component of strictosidine - precorsor to numerous complex<br />

medicinally important alkaloids:<br />
