| Abstract: | Chrysophanol (1,8-dihydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone) is an acetate-derived anthraquinone which is substituted in both benzenoid rings. Morindone (1,5,6-trihydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone) is also substituted in both rings but is shown to be derived from shikimic acid via o-succinoylbenzoic acid. |
