Synthesis and absolute configuration of MQ-A3 [1-(14′-methylhexadecanoyl) pyrrolidine], a novel aliphatic pyrrolidine amide from the tropical convolvulaceous species

Article abstract of DOI:10.1271/bbb.65.463

A novel pyrrolidine amide (MQ-A₃) isolated from the tropical convolvulaceous species was synthesized in 5 steps by starting from commercially available 12-bromododecanol and (S)-2-methylbulylbromide. The absolute configuration of the natural product was confirmed by a comparison of the specific rotation values.
