High impact information on Necic acid

  • In the heliotridine series, the configuration of the necic acid has a pronounced effect on the site selectivity (C-7 vs C-9) in esterification with carbodiimidazole [1].
  • 2. The dehydroalkaloids are highly reactive and either bind covalentely to tissue nucleophiles or are hydrolysed to the more stable pyrrole, (R,S)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP), and the corresponding necic acid [2].
 

Associations of Necic acid with other chemical compounds

  • Firstly, the necine bases are structurally modified and either before or after this modification are converted into their O(9)-esters by esterification with one of the stereoisomers of 2,3-dihydroxy-2-isopropylbutyric acid, the unique necic acid of PAs of the lycopsamine type [3].
