Synthetic Studies on Manzamine A I: Diels-Alder Reaction of 5,6-Dihydro-2-pyridinone

Abstract

Various hydroisoquinolines have been synthesized uia the Diels-Alder reactions of 5.6-dihydro-2-pyridinones with Danishefsky diene.Diels-Alder reaction in synthetic organic chemistry can not be overemphasized and recent applications to the synthesis of natural products have received much attention.1
