This piperazine alkaloid occurs in the fungus Aspergillus phoenicis. It is dextro_x0002_rotatory with [α]24D + 107.4° (c 2.5, CHCI3). The base contains three methyl
groups, a carbonyl group and a methylimino group. The structure has been
determined from spectroscopic data as N-(hexa-2:4-dienoyl)-2:5-Ntrimethylpiperazine.
ChEBI: An enamide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of (2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoic acid with the secondary amino group of (2S,5R)-1,2,5-trimethylpiperazine.
