Article Title: Total synthesis of enantiopure phalarine via a stereospecific pictet-spengler reaction: Traceless transfer of chirality from L -tryptophan
Abstract: An appropriately constructed 2-substituted derivative of l-tryptophan undergoes conversion to a prephalarine structure in a single step. The reaction occurs in a diastereoselective fashion, leading shortly thereafter to the naturally occurring version of the alkaloid phalarine. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
