Cis-selectivity in the Pictet-Spengler reaction and studies towards the synthesis of indole alkaloids
Previous work in our group as been directed towards the synthesis of (+)-ajmaline, a biologically important indole alkaloid. Its total synthesis was completed in the 1990s. An important early step in its total synthesis from D-tryptophan is the trans-selective Pictet-Spengler reaction. However, in o...
