Preparation of AB and CEF Ring Fragments}, volume={79}, ISSN={["0022-3263"]}, DOI={10.1021/jo500878v}, abstractNote={A strategy for the synthesis of the lycopodium alkaloid dihydrolycolucine (1) has been investigated. Synthetic routes were developed based on N-acylpyridinium salt chemistry to prepare target fragments 3 and 4 that could ultimately converge to the natural product. Key reactions include IMDA cycloadditions and retro-Mannich ring-openings to form both the AB and the EF ring fragments. The ring C precursor was prepared using pyridine substitution and directed lithiation chemistry. A Suzuki cross-coupling of rings C and EF led to the CEF ring fragment. Initial attempts at closure of the seven-membered D ring were unsuccessful.}, number={12}, journal={JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY}, author={Cash, Brandon M. and Prevost, Natacha and Wagner, Florence F. and Comins, Daniel L.}, year={2014}, month={Jun}, pages={5740–5745} }
