A synthetic approach to a variety of monomeric Vinca alkaloids is described. The sequence involves, among its crucial phases, the generation of appropriate nine‐membered ring intermediates which are then elaborated via a transannular cyclization approach to the desired natural products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
