Novel nitrile oxide cycloaddition approach towards papuamine: stereoselective synthesis of a potentially useful trans-hydrindane intermediate

Abstract

In a potentially useful approach to the marine alkaloid papuamine 1, a known trans-hydrindane intermediate 17 has been synthesised in racemic form using a model sequence of reactions involving a nitrile oxide cycloaddition as a key step.
