Enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-strychnine using the catalytic asymmetric Michael reaction and tandem cyclization.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124(49) , 14546-7, (2002)

The enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-strychnine was accomplished through the use of the highly practical catalytic asymmetric Michael reaction (0.1 mol % of (R)-ALB, more than kilogram scale, without chromatography, 91% yield and >99% ee) as well as a ...

Rapid access to α-carbolines via a one-pot tandem reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones with 2-nitrophenylacetonitrile and the anti-proliferative activities of the products.

Org. Biomol. Chem. 12(2) , 355-61, (2014)

An effective and convenient method has been developed for the preparation of 2 or 2,4-substituted α-carbolines via a one-pot tandem reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones with 2-nitrophenylacetonitrile in the presence of zinc dust, acetic acid and triethylamine....
