Significance

Members of the Tylophora family of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids have a range of useful biological activities including anticancer, ­antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. The key step in the Weng-Chemler synthesis is an asymmetric intramolecular carboamination of the sulfonamide E catalyzed by the Cu(II)-(R)-Ph-Box F. See also: W. Zeng, S. R. Chemler J. Am. Chem.
