Abstract

Syntheses of the macrocyclic spermidine alkaloids (±)-celacinnine (1) and (±)- dihydroperiphylline (2) as well as the related spermine alkaloid (±)-verbascenine (3) were accomplished by means of sequential ring expansions of smaller lactam rings. Three ring expansion methods were employed:(1) transamidation of N-(aminoalkyl) lactams,(2) β- lactam-lactim ether condensation followed by reductive cleavage of the bicyclic 4- ...
