New syntheses of (±)-tashiromine and (±)-epitashiromine via enaminone intermediates. Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. 2016, 12, 2609–2613. DOI: 10.3762/bjoc.12.256.1860-539710.3762/bjoc.12.256http://hdl.handle.net/2263/58659Supporting Information File 1 Experimental procedures and copies of NMR spectra.The syntheses of the naturally occurring indolizidine alkaloid (±)-tashiromine and its unnatural epimer (±)-epitashiromine are demonstrated through the use of enaminone chemistry. The impact of various electron-withdrawing substituents at the C-8 position of the indolizidine core on the preparation of the bicyclic system is described.en© 2016 Riley et al.; licensee Beilstein-Institut.
