Chemoselective reduction of the corresponding 9-nitro precursor by catalytic transfer hydrogenation afforded the title compound, a new 9-amino derivative of the antitumor alkaloid Luotonin A, in good yield. The structure of the compound was established by means of 1D and 2D 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy as well as by EI-MS and high-resolution ESI-MS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
