Abstract

Diels-Alder strategy offers a mild and highly practical alternative to the pyrolytic conditions cited above. Moreover, the methodology should prove generally applicable to the synthesis of a number of alkaloids embodying a bridgehead nitrogen. In order to expand the scope of this reaction we examined the cyclocondensation of dienyl aldehyde gSc with benzylamine hydrochloride. Slow addition of 9 over 20 h to a 1. OM solution of benzylamine ...
