Abstract

A simple 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline marine natural product (2a) together with two known compounds (3 and 4) was isolated from a low polar fraction of the crude extract of KCN pretreated Thai tunicate Ecteinascidia thurstoni. The structure of 2a was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. We also reported an eight-step large-scale preparation of 2a from isovanillin (9).
