Significance

Reisman and co-workers report a convergent fragment coupling approach to the ­aconitine-type alkaloids (–)-talatisamine, (–)‑liljestrandisine, and (–)-liljestrandinine. The structure of (–)-liljestrandisine was revised.

Comment

1,2-Addition of lithiated bromide H to ketone D gave I after in situ TMS protection. TMSNTf2 mediated the key semipinacol rearrangement that led to ketone K. This was elaborated to the full carbon skeleton of the natural product in 14 steps.
