An efficient method for the synthesis of enol ethers and enecarbamates. Total syntheses of isoindolobenzazepine alkaloids, lennoxamine and chilenine†
Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of enol ethers and enecarbamates has been developed based on catalytic hydrosilane reduction of α-phosphonoxy enol ethers and α-phosphonoxy enecarbamates. This method has been applied to the total syntheses of two isoindolobenzazepine
