(+)-ANCISTROCLINE, A NAPHTHYLISOQUINOLINE ALKALOID FROM ANCISTROCLADUS TECTORIUS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(92)83505-S

The completion of the structural elucidation of (+)-ancistrocline, a naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid from Ancistrocladus tectorius, by partial synthesis from the known alkaloid, ancistrocladinine, is described.By this transformation, the constitution of (+)-ancistrocline is confirmed, and its stereostructure established as 1R,3S,5S.Key Word Index: Ancistrocladus tectorius; Ancistrocladaceae; (+)-ancistrocline; structural elucidation; partial synthesis; ancistrocladinine; naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids.
