Abstract

The elucidation of the structure of the cytotoxic marine sponge alkaloid pyrinodemin A by synthesis is described. Based on the 13C NMR spectra of three double bond positional isomers and the natural product, it is concluded the C14′–C15′ isomer best represents the true structure of pyrinodemin A. In addition, the structural assignment of pyrinodemin C is evaluated.
