Nidulaxanthone
A
is
a
dimeric,
dihydroxanthone
natural
product
which
was
isolated
in

Structur-ally,
the
compound
features
an
unprecedented
heptacyclic
6/6/6/6/6/6/6
ring
system
unusual
for
xanthone
dimers.
Biosynthetically,
nidulaxanthone
originates
monomer
nidulalin
via
stereoselective
Diels-Alder
dimeri-zation.
To

synthesis
of
and

Among

alkaloid
subfamilies,
daphnezomine
A-type
alkaloids
consist
of
only
three

namely

B
(2)
and
dapholdhamine

These
contain
a
