Abstract
An inexpensive proline derivative and chiral control feature in the total synthesis of securinega alkaloids (-)-norsecurinine (1) and phyllanthine (2). Key steps in the synthesis of 1 include an intramolecular ketonitrile coupling and application of a radical-based generation of N- acylimines. The total synthesis of 2 utilizes a stereoselective imino Diels- Alder construction of the methoxypiperidine ring.
