Abstract
Mauritamide B (1a) is a taurine-connected cyclic guanidino-bromopyrrole alkaloid originally isolated from the marine sponge Agelas linnaei. To date, the total synthesis of taurine-connected guanidino-bromopyrrole alkaloids, including this compound, has not yet been reported. Herein, a total synthesis of (±)-mauritamide B (1b) was achieved by oxidation of 2-aminoimidazole of dihydro-sventrin (10) using activated carbon and air in the presence of taurine. The synthetic precursor of 10, 4-(3-aminopropyl)-2-aminoimidazole (22), was synthesized via our original route. The NMR data of the obtained product agreed with that reported for mauritamide B (1a). However, a detailed analysis of the NMR data of synthetic (±)-mauritamide B (1b) including 1H-15N HSQC spectrum revealed the need for a structural revision of the reported structure for mauritamide B (1b).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
