β¦ Synopsis
Spermine alkaloids homaline, hopromalinol, hopromine, and hoprominol are prepared by sequential coupling of 4-substituted 5-methyl-1,5-diazacyclooctan-2-ones, available by transamidation from 4-substituted azetidin-2-ones, to 1,4-dichlorobut-2-ene. Homalium alkaloids (1 a-d), isolated from the leaves of Homalium pronyense (Flacourtiaceae), have unique bis-eight-membered lactam structures.' They are based biogenetically on combination of two residues (fatty or cinnamic acid)
with the'polyamine spermine.
We report here an approach leading to the first

Aphelandrine (1) is shown to be biosynthesized in the root cells of Aphelundra tetragonu (VAHL) NEES from labelled putrescine (4), spermidine (5), and cinnamic acid (3). Whether spermine (6) and the @-hydroxycinna-moy1)spermidine 8 are precursors of 1 is uncertain, since the latter is hydrolysed to
