Abstract

The concise total synthesis of (±)-crinine was accomplished in 24% overall yield and eleven steps starting from an easily available allylic alcohol. The key step of the current synthesis involved the NBS-promoted semipinacol rearrangement reaction of allylic alcohols. The hydroindole skeleton with the sterically congested quaternary carbon center was established concisely by utilizing this semipinacol rearrangement followed by a combination of intramolecular aldol and aza-Michael reactions.

Key words

aldol reaction - alkaloids - aza-Michael reaction - semipinacol rearrangement - total synthesis
