Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/ejoc.200700570

The syntheses of two cyclodeca[ij]isoquinoline derivatives, which embody the carbon framework of stephaoxocanidine, excentricine and the recently isolated stephalonganines A, B and C, are reported. The target tricyclic compounds were prepared from isovani
