Use of the oxazole-olefin Diels-Alder reaction in the total synthesis of the monoterpene alkaloids (-)-plectrodorine and (+)-oxerine

A full account of the total synthesis of two monoterpene alkaloids, (-)-plectrodorine [(-)-1] and (+)-oxerine [(+)-3], is presented. The key steps involved are the formation of the oxazole alcohol 10 from the γ-butyrolactone 9 and the intramolecular Diels
