Catalytic iron-mediated enediene carbocyclizations: The enantioselective synthesis of a homologue of the alkaloid(-)-protoemetinol

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(95)00443-G

The efficient enantioselective synthesis of the benzoquinolizidine 2 highlights the utility of the stereoselective iron-catalyzed cyclization of enedienes and affords the opportunity to prepare analogues of protoemetinol, psychotrine, and related natural
