(+)-Aureol is a natural product that shows selective anticancer activity against certain strains of lung cancer and colon cancer. A key step in the biosynthesis of (+)-aureol (how nature makes the molecule) is believed to involve the conversion of carbocation A to carbocation B (Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 4710-4713). HO OH HO OH

Taxol is a powerful anticancer agent that was first isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia) in 1967 The structure of Taxol, shown below wasn't elucidated until 1971. Taxol prevents tumor growth by inhibiting the division C cells, or mitosis, in some types of cancer cells; and in other types of cancer cells, it induces cell death. or apoptosis. Taxol is now commonly prescribed as a treatment for breast and ovarian cancers. What functional groups are NOT present in taxol? NH OH .0.... Taxol (paclitaxel) HO Select one: O a. Aldehyde and Alcohol O b. Amide and Aldehyde Oc. Ester and Alcohol O d. Ketone and Ether O e. Carboxylic Acid and Amine OH
