Abstract

Abstract There are more than 400-reported bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, many with interesting biological activity, but the reported syntheses are long and low yielding. As a result, there have been no systematic attempts at exploitation of the potential therapeutic applications. The concept of a sulfur 'stitch', restricting the conformational freedom of intermediates in the synthesis, will potentially allow analogues of the natural products to ...
