A short synthesis of γ-lycorane using Ni/AcOH mediated radical cyclisation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A short synthesis of (±)-γ-lycorane 6 is described using two different radical cyclisations. The key step is the formation of tetrahydroindolone 9 by a nickel-promoted 5-endo radical cyclisation. This is followed by a tributylstannane-mediated 6-endo ring closure to the tetracyclic lactam 10 which is readily reduced tb (±)-γ-lycorane 6.
