ChemInform Abstract
Onychine (Ia) has been isolated from Cleistopholis patens as anticandidal compound. The analogues (Ib) and (Ic) which are synthesized via thermal rearrangement of indanone oxime O-crotyl or O-allyl ethers show extremely weak activities toward microorganisms. The related compounds (II), synthesized via Diels-Alder reactions, are more active and the best results are achieved with compound (III).
