Identification of centrolobol as the platyphylloside metabolite responsible for the observed effect on in vitro digestibility of hay
Syntheses of the metabolites from platyphylloside, a phenol causing digestibility inhibition in rumen fluid, have been performed to identify the active metabolite. 1,7-Bis(4′-hydroxyphenyl)-3-heptanone (3-platyphyllone), racemic, and the two enantiomers o
