Description
Tulipalin A is an unsubstituted -methylene-butyrolaetone
eontained in the sap of tulips, Alstroemeria spp.
(Peruvian lily) and Erythronium (dog tooth violet,
fawn-lily). Tulipalin B seems to have a weak capacities
to sensitize.

Uses
Very reactive Michael-acceptor; the α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone ring system exists in many natural products of biological interest Allergen in the Liliaeeae family of plants to whieh speeies such as Tulip, Alstromeria, Erythronium dens canis and americanum belong. α-Methylene-γ-butyrolactone (Tulipane) was used to develop optically active spiro-[butyrolactone-pyrrolidine] via Cu(I)-catalyzed exo-selective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides.
