Abstract

A convenient and rapid approach for the synthesis of naturally occurring unsaturated amide alkaloids 1a ľ 1n by the recently developed one-flask RambergľBäcklund reaction is described. The starting material was alcohol 3, which was transformed into thiolacetate 4 using the Mitsunobu reaction. In situ cleavage of acetyl moiety of 4, followed by alkylation of the resulting thiol with appropriate chloroacetamide 5, provided the sulfide 6. Oxidation of ...
