Complexity-generating reactions and the synthesis of alkaloids

This thesis describes attempts to apply the furan oxidative N-spirocyclisation methodology to the synthesis of three alkaloids, namely pandamarilactone-1, lycopladine D and hederacine B. Starting from 5-chloro-1-pentyne, pandamarilactone-1 is synthesised in 10 steps and 9% overall yield. The structu...
