Dimerization of (+)-myrmicarin 215B. A potential biomimetic approach to complex myrmicarin alkaloids

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

The acid promoted diastereoselective dimerization of myrmicarin 215B is described. The reactivity of these sensitive alkaloids, structural assignment, and a possible mechanism for the observed dimerization is discussed. These finding raise the intriguing possibility of the synthesis of the highly sensitive myrmicarin alkaloids based on a strategy involving the direct dimerization of functional tricyclic myrmicarin derivatives.
