Abstract
A concise (six-step) synthesis of the indolizidine alkaloid tashiromine (1) has been achieved. Olefin cross-metathesis was used to prepare a key functionalised allylsilane, which subsequently underwent electrophile-induced ring-closure to establish the bicyclic framework with complete control of stereochemistry.
Key words
alkaloids - cross-metathesis - cyclisation - iminium - organosilicon
