Total synthesis and structural revision of a mangrove alkaloid?

RSC Advances Pub Date: 2017-10-17 DOI: 10.1039/C7RA10483A

Abstract

We report the total synthesis of an alkaloid isolated from the mangrove fungi Hypocrea virens, based on the originally claimed structure, via a photochemical sequence. Inconsistencies between data sets led to a revision of the proposed structure followed by a concise synthetic sequence to deliver the revised natural product.
