Abstract

The Claisen-Eschenmoser [3.3] sigmatropic rearrangement1 of appropriately functionalized 3-aryl-2-cyclohexenols provides a ready synthesis of mesembrane alkaloids. 2, 3 Herein we describe the total synthesis of rac-O-methyljoubertiamine41 (1) as part of the development of a general synthetic route to these alkaloids, involving the aforementioned rearrangement as the key synthetic step.
