Abstract

Claisen rearrangement of 1-methyl-4-(3-methylbut-2-enyloxy) 2-quinolone resulted mainly in abnormal reaction to give a 1, 2-dimethylallylquinoline and its linear and angular cyclisation products. The intermediate 1, 1-dimethylallylquinoline was trapped as its acetate which was cyclised to ifflaiamine with hydrobromic acid. An isomeric furanoquinoline alkaloid is shown to occur with ifflaiamine in Flindersia ifflaiana and the biogenesis of the ...
