Book Description
Cernuine and the minor alkaloids, from Lycopodium cernuum, have been reexamined. The structure and stereochemistry of cernuine (I), CH 3 has been determined. The biosynthesis of cernuine is discussed. Some simple chemical transformations of annopodine have been carried out and are interpreted in light of its structure (II) as determined by 3 H II X-ray diffraction studies. Possible biosynthetic routes leading to annopodine are proposed. The synthesis of luciduline, an alkaloid from Lycopodium lucidulum, has been attempted.
