Synthesis of All Diastereomers of the Piperidine-Alkaloid-Substructure of Cyclopamine
P. Heretsch, S. Rabe, A. Giannis – 2009
All four diastereomers of the trisubstituted piperidine−alkaloids of the veratramine and jervine type were synthesized with complete stereocontrol starting from enantiopure citronellic acids. The flexible, high-yielding, and scalable route described here will facilitate convergent syntheses and give access to analogues of cyclopamine and other biologically active and diverse steroid alkaloids.
