Abstract

Some chemoselective transformations of the vinylogous amide (E)-2-benzoylmethylene-1-(2- cyano-ethyl) pyrrolidine (3a) and compounds derived from it have been investigated. Methodology developed during the course of these model studies has been applied to the synthesis of the alkaloids peripentadenme (1) and dinorperipentaclenine (2).
