Enantioselective synthesis of naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloids: (<i>S</i>)-(−)-trolline and (<i>R</i>)-(+)-oleracein E

Abstract

The highly efficient asymmetric synthesis of a pair of enantiomers, (<italic>S</italic>)-(−)-trolline and (<italic>R</italic>)-(+)-oleracein E, has been achieved in five steps.
