Atropurpuran - Missing Biosynthetic Link Leading to the Hetidine and Arcutine C₂₀-Diterpenoid Alkaloids or an Oxidative Degradation Product?

ABSTRACT: A possible biosynthetic link between atropurpuran, the hetidine diterpenoid alkaloids and the alkaloid arcutine and congeners is proposed. The feasibility of aspects of this biosynthesis, especially key 1,2-rearrangements, have been examined computationally.
