Enantioselective construction of the ABCDE pentacyclic core of the Strychnos alkaloids
An efficient enantioselective 12-step synthesis of the ABCDE pentacyclic core of the Strychnos alkaloids is described. A key feature of this approach is an organocatalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization to generate the morphan core in high ee and dr. After palladium-catalyzed installation of the...
