G. Mehta et Ds. Reddy, RESERPINE SYNTHESIS - A PROTOCOL FOR THE STEREOSELECTIVE CONSTRUCTIONOF THE DENSELY FUNCTIONALIZED RING-E, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I (Print), (14), 1998, pp. 2125-2126
A new approach to densely functionalized cyclohexanoid derivative 12,
embodying the complete stereochemical pattern of ring-E of the complex
indole alkaloid reserpine 1, from a readily available tricycle [5.2.1
.0(2,6)] decane precursor 5 is described.
