Preparation of some angularly substituted and highly functionalized quinolizidines as building blocks for the synthesis of various alkaloids and related scaffolds of medicinal interest

Abstract

The epimeric forms of the angularly substituted quinolizidine 6, representing potentially useful building blocks for the synthesis of various alkaloids, have been prepared via a pathway involving two consecutive ring-closing metathesis reactions. Variously hydroxy-protected derivatives (21, 22, and 26-29) of these compounds have also been generated.
