Abstract
Inspired by the multicomponent reaction-type scenario involving fatty dialdehydes, a nitrogen source, and acrolein, as a key C3 unit, put forward by Baldwin and Whitehead to explain the formation of manzamine-type alkaloids, 96 multicomponent reactions were designed, and their analytical readouts were deconvoluted using a herein-provided chemoinformatic workflow. This strategy pinpointed relevant conditions tuning the reactivity of acrolein to fulfill Baldwin and Whitehead's manzamine alkaloids biosynthetic hypothesis. This strategy can become part of a general method for the high-content analysis of multicomponent reactions applied to a natural product biosynthetic scenario.
