The first synthesis of decahydrofluorene core 4 of pyrrocidines was accomplished. The cis,trans-fused tricyclic ring system was stereoselectively constructed via Diels-Alder reaction using two Danishefsky dienes.
-A formal total synthesis of an akuammiline-type indole alkaloid, (±)-strictamine, which features ozonolysis, the Staudinger reaction, and the aza-Wittig reaction to construct its D-ring, is reported.
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.
