The rearrangement of dihydronoracronycine (3) to dihydroisonoracronycine (4) proceeds by way of an intermolecular reaction rather than an intramolecular reaction as had originally been supposed. Deuterium-labeling studies showed the incorporation of deuterium at C3, C12, and thegeminal methyl positions of dihydroisonoracronycine (4). Because no reaction occurred when the bisnor derivative was treated in the same manner as 3, it appears that the chromene geminal methyl groups are important forthe rearrangement to occur.Acronycine (1), a hemiterpene acridone alkaloid isolated from the bark of Baurella simplicifolia (Endl.) Hartley (Rutaceae)(2-8), the Australian scrub ash indigenous to New South Wales and Queensland, possesses the broadest spectrum of in vivo an-tineoplastic activityof any alkaloid thusfar tested (9-12). However, relatively little is known of the chemistry or mode of action of 1 or its simple derivatives such as 2. We previously reported that if dihydronoracronycine (3) was dissolved in 98%
