Abstract

The total syntheses of (±)-quebrachamine and (±)-kopsiyunnanine D are reported. Key transformations include an intermolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination to merge the two fragments convergently and an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction to introduce the synthetically challenging nine-membered azonane ring efficiently.
