An efficient total synthesis of (+/-)-stemonamine

Org Lett. 2008 May 1;10(9):1763-6. doi: 10.1021/ol800433r. Epub 2008 Mar 26.

Abstract

An efficient first approach to the Stemona alkaloid (+/-)-Stemonamine has been developed on the basis of a key TiCl4 promoted tandem Semipinacol rearrangement/Schmidt reaction and a Dieckmann condensation reaction.
