Preparation and reactions of spirodihydropyridines formed by acylation of imines with isonicotinoyl chloride: a synthesis of the alkaloid naucléfine
Abstract
The spirodihydropyridines (2), (7), and (10), which were prepared from the corresponding imines with isonicotinoyl chloride, readily underwent photorearrangement and hydrolysis to give heterocyclic compounds related to alkaloids including naucléfine (9).
