The structure of ptaquiloside (1), a potent carcinogenic compound isolated from bracken fern, Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum has been elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence. The dienone 3 generated from 1 under alkaline conditions was shown to be a strong alkylating agent. For the purpose of obtaining the preliminary information on chemical modification of biopolymers such as proteins and DNA with the dienone 3, ...
