Abstract

Summary: m methodology for distinguishing the similar basic sites in spermidine has led to the first synthesis of thermospermine L. The bioge~ e amines putresdne, cadaverine, spermidine end spermine are widespread substances which mediate a host of biophysical and physiological processes both in microerganisms and throughout the plant and animal kingdoms.
