The incorporation of the four diphenols (Ia),(Ib),(Ic), and (Id) into the alkaloids galanthamine, galanthine, and haemanthamine produced by the King Alfred daffodil has been investigated. The precursors have been labelled on the N-Me, on the O-Me, and at position 1 as appropriate. Degradation of the alkaloids demonstrated that there was no scrambling of the labels and that the precursors are incorporated intact. The application of multiply labelled precursors has been specially illustrated. Intermediate trapping experiments have also been made.By a decisive experiment with the precursor (Ic), doubly labelled on O-Me and at position 1, it has been proved that the methylenedioxy-group of haemanthamine is formed in Nature by cyclisation of the O-methoxyphenol group of (Ic). The generalisation and mechanism of this phenomenon are debated.
