Abstract

The enantioselective total synthesis of the dipyrrolidine alkaloid (-)-trans-dendrochrysine was accomplished in 18 steps starting from tropone. The key step was a ring-rearrangement metathesis for the construction of the bisheterocyclic skeleton of the natural product in a single step.

Key words

total synthesis - olefin metathesis - ruthenium - heterocycles - alkaloids
