| Abstract |
Spirodactylone (1), a hexacyclic indolizidone alkaloid possessing a novel spiro ring system, was isolated from the marine sponge Dactylia sp. The structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods including application of the LR-HSQMBC NMR pulse sequence. Oxidative cyclization of denigrin B (2), an aryl-substituted 2-oxo-pyrroline derivative that was also isolated from the sponge extract, provided material identical to spirodactylone (1). This confirmed the assigned structure and provides insight into the probable biogenesis of 1. |
