Abstract

An efficient synthetic route to the spirally fused AG-ring model of pinnatoxin A has been devised using the intramolecular cyclization of epoxy nitrile followed by an aza-Wittig reaction to form a seven-membered cyclic imine.

Key words

pinnatoxin A - cyclic imine - alkylation - spiro ring - aza-Wittig reaction
