Abstract

An approach towards the construction of bicyclic analogues of monoterpene alkaloids belonging to the kinabalurine, incarvilline and skytanthine families of natural products is reported. These syntheses rely on a stereoselective intramolecular Pauson–Khand cyclisation of a chiral pool-derived enyne in order to prepare the bicyclic core. Stereoselective further elaboration generates diastereomeric analogues of the naturally occurring alkaloids.
