Sa. Barr et Dr. Boyd, A GENERAL SYNTHETIC ROUTE TO ENANTIOPURE QUINOLINE ALKALOIDS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (2), 1994, pp. 153-154
Enantiopure chromenoquinoline epoxides of established configuration ar
e obtained by cyclization of their resolved bromomethoxy(trifluorometh
yl)phenylacetates and provide a new route to geibalansine, O-acetylgei
balansine, ribalinine, araliopsine, edulinine and related quinoline al
kaloids.
