Abstract

A concise synthesis of the alkaloid eupolauramine has been achieved. The key step was a benzotriazolyl-mediated connection of a bromoaryl unit to the azaisoindolinone framework by an enol ether function. Free radical cyclization then provided the natural product.

Key words

alkaloids - carbanions - enols - ring closure - total synthesis
