A stereoselective total synthesis of dasycarpidan alkaloids: (±)-dasycarpidone, (±)-dasycarpidol and (±)-nordasycarpidone
Abstract
A stereoselective total synthesis of the dasycarpidan alkaloids dasycarpidone 1, dasycarpidol 2 and nordasycarpidone 3 has been achieved from the tetracyclic intermediate 6, the key step being the oxidation of the C-6 methylene group.
