Total syntheses of the structures assigned to salimine and jerusalemine, alkaloids from Colchicum decaisnei boiss. (Liliaceae)
Abstract
Total syntheses of the dibenzo[a,c]cycloheptylamines (±)-1 and (±)-2 have been developed; the spectroscopic properties of synthetic 2 match those reported for the alkaloid jerusalemine but compound 1 is different from the alkaloid salimine.
