Total synthesis of (±)-decursivine
Leduc, Andrew B.,Kerr, Michael A.
, p. 237 - 240 (2007/10/03)
The first preparation of the antimalarial natural product decursivine is described. A Diels-Alder/Plieninger indolization protocol allows convenient preparation of the indole 15 which, in turn is a suitable substrate for a boron-enolate aldol reaction with piperonal (16). The resulting adduct 14 is transformed efficiently to the natural product. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2007.
