Journal ArticleDOI
A new synthesis of the cylindrocarine group of alkaloids
James P. Brennan,J. Edwin Saxton +1 more
TL;DR: The Kuehne synthesis of anilinoacrylate alkaloids has been adapted to afford a new synthesis of (±)-12-demethoxy-N-acetylcylindrocarine as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic studies towards paspalicine. Part 2. An alternative approach to the synthesis of the C/D ring system
TL;DR: An alternative approach to the synthesis of the trans-hydrindane ring system containing an angular methyl group, which forms rings C and D of paspalicine, is described in this article.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 9 Synthesis of the Aspidosperma Alkaloids
TL;DR: The synthesis of the Aspidosperminine and vincadifformine ring systems has been studied extensively in the literature (see as mentioned in this paper for a summary). But the most original approach to the synthesis is the tandem aza-Cope rearrangement-Mannich cyclization route developed by Overman et al. in the early 1970s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Approaches to the synthesis of aspidosperma alkaloids : Part II. The synthesis of 18,19-didehydrotabersonine
Journal ArticleDOI
Total synthesis of heptacyclic Aspidosperma alkaloids. Part 3. Synthesis of an advanced intermediate in the synthesis of alalakine
TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation of a hexacyclic aminoester, which lacks only the lactone ring of alalakine, is described, and the preparation is described in detail.
