Total Synthesis of Novel Skeleton Flavan-Alkaloids

The first total synthesis of novel skeleton natural compounds kinkeloids A and B, a group of newly discovered flavan alkaloids isolated from the African plant <i>Combretum micranthum</i>, are described in this study. The key and final step are achieved by Mannich reaction, through which...
