title: A new approach towards ikimine A analogues.
abstract: An analogon of the alkylpyridine alkaloid ikimine A (1) was prepared in six steps starting from undec-10-ynoic acid. A key step in this synthesis was a Sonogashira coupling of the alkyne and 3-iodopyridine, followed by hydrogenation of the alkyne, reduction of the ester to the primary alcohol and oxidation to the corresponding aldehyde. This aldehyde was converted to the ikimine A analogon with O-methyl hydroxylamine hydrochloride. This product and the intermediate alkylpyridines were tested in the agar diffusion assay for antibacterial and antifungal activities.
