Methods and Strategies for the Synthesis of Peduncularine

Abstract

Peduncularine is the principal alkaloid isolated from Tasmanian shrub Aristotelia peduncularis. Due to its unusual 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core, the indole alkaloid was received numerous attention from the synthetic community and several innovative synthetic strategies have been developed. In this minireview, the synthetic efforts of peduncularine are summarized as inspiration for future development of medicinally interesting derivatives.
