As a model for condensation reactions of macrocycles of type 1 , which are possibly implicated in the biosynthesis of a number of new alkaloids recently extracted from sponges, we now report that treatment of dihydropyridinium salt 13 with triethylamine in dichloromethane gave, after reduction with sodium borohydride, adducts 15 and 16 in 25% and 7% isolated yields, respectively. The structures of these adducts are identical to the core structures of keramaphidin B, a biogenetic precursor of manzamines, and halicyclamine A. |
