Total Synthesis of Cryptopleurine and Its Analogues
概要
Total synthesis of phenanthroquinolizidine alkaloid cryptopleurine was achieved in 8 steps from commercially available 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and the epoxide derived from methyleugenol. The key intermediate vinyl triflate enables the divergent synthesis of cryptopleurine derivatives by late-stage installation of various substituents on the C-ring.
