Frontispiece: Short Total Synthesis of (±)‐γ‐Lycorane by a Sequential Intramolecular Acylal Cyclisation (IAC) and Intramolecular Heck Addition Reaction

The pentacyclic structure of the natural product (±)‐γ‐lycorane was synthesized by a new sequential Lewis acid mediated intramolecular acylal cyclisation (IAC)/Heck coupling approach. A range of bicyclic heterocycles was also synthesized by using this methodology in good yields demonstrating the pot...

Description
Summary:The pentacyclic structure of the natural product (±)‐γ‐lycorane was synthesized by a new sequential Lewis acid mediated intramolecular acylal cyclisation (IAC)/Heck coupling approach. A range of bicyclic heterocycles was also synthesized by using this methodology in good yields demonstrating the potential of the IAC reaction to access complex heterocycles.
