Advanced precursors in marine biosynthetic study. Part 3: The biosynthesis of dichloroimines in the tropical marine sponge Stylotella aurantium

The biosynthetic origins of the dichloroimine group in the stylotellanes A and B 1, 2 have been investigated by incorporation of [14C]-labeled farnesyl isocyanide 7 and farnesyl isothiocyanate 3 into the sponge Stylotella aurantium.
