Piperidine alkaloid content of Picea pungens (Colorado blue spruce)
摘要:
The content and pattern of piperidine alkaloid accumulation in Picea pungens, the Colorado blue spruce, was studied as a function of growth stage and plant part. Qualitative and quantitative differences were encountered between early seedlings, mature trees, needles, stems and other plant parts. A new natural piperidine imine alkaloid, 2-methyl-6-propyl-1,6-piperideine, was found and postulated to be an intermediate leading to epidihydropinidine, the major alkaloid found in spruce needles.

A series of 2,6-disubstituted piperidine alkaloids have been isolated from several Pinus (pine) and Picea (spruce) species and characterized structurally. The pines appear to contain only cis-disubstituted piperidines, while the spruces contain both cis- and trans-disubstituted piperidines. The structural relationships among the alkaloids suggest a plausible biosynthetic scheme and a reason why previous attempts to elucidate the biosynthesis of pinidine failed beyond establishing its polyketide origin. A mixture of alkaloids from needles of Pinus ponderosa proved to be highly teratogenic. The alkaloids might therefore be involved in so-called pine needle abortion which occurs in pregnant range cows which feed on Ponderosa pine needles.

A general asymmetric route to trans- or cis-2,6-disubstituted piperidine. First total synthesis of (+)-9-epi-6-epipinidinol and (−)-pinidinol
syn-1,5-diol stereodivergently, which have been converted by aminocyclization into trans- and cis-2,6-disubstituted piperidines (trans- and cis-12), respectively. The first totalsynthesis of (+)-9-epi-6-epipinidinol (2) and (−)-pinidinol (3) has been achieved from trans- and cis-12.
