TL;DR: Interestingly, the alkaloids chemistry and pharmacology volume 32 that you really wait for now is coming, it's significant to wait for the representative and beneficial books to read.
Abstract: Interestingly, the alkaloids chemistry and pharmacology volume 32 that you really wait for now is coming. It's significant to wait for the representative and beneficial books to read. Every book that is provided in better way and utterance will be expected by many peoples. Even you are a good reader or not, feeling to read this book will always appear when you find it. But, when you feel hard to find it as yours, what to do? Borrow to your friends and don't know when to give back it to her or him.

TL;DR: An enantiospecific and stereoselective total synthesis of the natural product (+)-crispine A has been demonstrated employing a Pictet-Spengler bis-cyclization reaction between commercially available (R)-(-)-methyl 2-amino-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propanoate and 4-chloro-1,1-Dimethoxybutane to preferentially provide the cis tricyclic adduct.
Abstract: An enantiospecific and stereoselective total synthesis of the natural product (+)-crispine A has been demonstrated employing a Pictet-Spengler bis-cyclization reaction between commercially available (R)-(-)-methyl 2-amino-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propanoate and 4-chloro-1,1-dimethoxybutane to preferentially provide the cis tricyclic adduct. Decarboxylation by a convenient two-step protocol provided the enantiopure natural product in three steps with an overall isolated yield of 32% from the amino acid. The unnatural antipode (-)-crispine A was similarly prepared in three steps from the commercially available (S)-(+)-amino acid.

TL;DR: The Schmidt reaction has been modified to include analogous reactions in which the hydrazoic acid is replaced by an alkyl azide, promoted by Lewis acids as mentioned in this paper, allowing the formulation of intramolecular Schmidt reactions of the azide with a carbonyl or carbocationic electrophile.
Abstract: The classical form of the Schmidt reaction involves the reaction of a carbon-centered electrophile with hydrazoic acid with loss of nitrogen, usually with a rearrangement that forms a new carbon-nitrogen bond. Although the conversion of a ketone into an amide is the most commonly used variation, mechanistically related versions utilize an aldehyde, acid, or a carbocation generated from an alkene or alcohol as the electrophilic component. In recent years, the definition of the Schmidt reaction has been modified to include analogous reactions in which the hydrazoic acid is replaced by an alkyl azide, promoted by Lewis acids. The use of an alkyl azide uniquely permits the formulation of intramolecular Schmidt reactions of the azide with a carbonyl or carbocationic electrophile. Keywords: alkyl azide; amide synthesis; hydrazoic acid; lactam synthesis; rearrangement; ring expansion; Schmidt reaction

TL;DR: This tutorial review analyses and summarises key recent developments in the field of Schmidt reactions and concludes that the Schmidt reaction now represents an important reaction in synthetic chemistry.
Abstract: The azide group has a diverse and extensive role in organic chemistry, reflected in the power of azide anion as a strong nucleophile, the role of organic azides as excellent substrates for cycloaddition reactions, the uses of azides as precursors of amines and nitrenes, and azide rearrangements known as the Curtius and Schmidt reactions. In recent years the scope of the Schmidt reaction has begun to be explored in depth, so that it now represents an important reaction in synthetic chemistry. This tutorial review analyses and summarises key recent developments in the field of Schmidt reactions.
