Double reductive cyclization: A facile synthesis of the indoloquinoline alkaloid cryptotackieine
Abstract
A new synthesis of the indoloquinoline alkaloid cryptotackieine, isolated from Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, is described which involves a Perkin reaction, a tandem double reduction-double cyclization reaction followed by regioselective methylation at the quinoline nitrogen.
