A novel approach towards the construction of the galanthamine skeleton was demonstrated by the Pdcatalyzed cyclization of N- [2-(1,4-dioxa-spiro[4,5]dec-7-en-8-yl)-ethyl]-2-iodo-4-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (23), with formation of the benzazepine ring and creation of a quaternary carbon.
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.
