Exploration of the Electrophilic Reactivity of the Cytotoxic Marine Alkaloid Discorhabdin C and Subsequent Discovery of a New Dimeric C-1/N-13-Linked Discorhabdin Natural Product

The cytotoxic marine natural product discorhabdin C contains a 2,6-dibromo-cyclohexa-2,5-diene moiety, previously proposed to be a critical feature required for biological activity. We have determined that the dienone-ring of discorhabdin C is indeed electrophilic, reacting with thiol and amine nucl...
