Indole Alkaloids, Macrocycles and Heterocycles : Interplay between Methodological Development and Total Synthesis

Cyril Piemontesi

An enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-terengganensine A, a heptacyclic monoterpene indole alkaloid, was performed. A short sequence allowed to obtain the enantio-enriched target in good overall yield. The synthesis featured a key asymmetric transfer h ...
