Article Title: The solution to a deep stereochemical conundrum: Studies toward the tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids
Abstract: (Chemical Equation Presented) Facile construction of subunits 1 and 2 allowed the rapid assembly of the pentacyclic ring system 3 of the cytotoxic tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids. A surprising participation reaction was discovered, which necessitated revision of the stereochemical assignments of key intermediates en route to 3. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
