Synthesis of homochiral β-sulfinyl nitrones and their application for enantioselective synthesis of (+)-euphococcinine

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-99-S81

Homochiral β-sulfinyl nitrones can be prepared from secondary amines in three steps. Enantioselective synthesis of defensive alkaloid (+)- euphococcinine (9) has been accomplished by means of diastereoselective allylation of homochiral β-sulfinyl nitrone
