Anominine (178) is an indole terpene (Scheme 42) isolated from the sclerotia of Aspergillus nomius by Gloer et al. 163). The natural (-i-)-178 exhibits potent activity against the widespread crop pest Heliothis zea in controlled feeding experiments. Very recently, the ( )-enantiomer was synthesized successfully by the group of Bonjoch for the first time 164). This impressive route commenced...

The problem with the simple TLC analysis of aflatoxins is that many natural products fluoresce blue or green under UV and many of these compounds have an Rp value close to, or even identical with, that of one of the four common aflatoxins (Figure 1). The early literature contains a number of false-positive reports of the presence of aflatoxins, and even their production by species of mold other than Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus, and A. nomius, so it is essential that a confirmatory test be carried out such as derivatization coupled with two-dimensional TLC. In the case of the aflatoxins, a useful confirmatory test is to derivatize as the hemiacetals with trifluoroacetic acid by superimposing 2 pi of a 50% solution of the reagent in chloroform onto the spot of both the unknown and a standard marker before chromatography. Aflatoxins Bi and Gi, but not B2 and G2, form hemiacetals that have the same fluorescence as the parent compound but run significantly more slowly...
