Abstract
It was demonstrated that the attack of Grignard reagents such as methy l-, allyl-, and 3,3-dimethoxypropyl magnesium bromides on 11,12-dehydr ocytisine occurs on the alpha-face, to give the corresponding 11 alpha -alkylcytisine. (-)-Camoensine and (-)-camoensidine were synthesized f rom (-)-cytisine via the Grignard reaction. The absolute stereochemist ry of the above alkaloids was confirmed to be 7R, 9R, 11R and 6S, 7R, 9R, 11R, respectively.
