Abstract

In Chinese rose species and in many modern varieties, two methylated phenolic derivatives, 3,5‐dimethoxytoluene and 1,3,5‐trimethoxybenzene, are major scent components. We show that cell‐free extracts of rose petals catalyse the synthesis of 3,5‐dimethoxytoluene and 1,3,5‐trimethoxybenzene by methyl...
