摘要
Direct addition of dimethyl malonate anion to a 1,4-conjugate iminium salt of 3-ethylindolo[2,3-a]quinolizidine 4a (regenerated from the corresponding alpha-aminonitrile 4b) afforded enamine 5. Catalytic hydrogenation of compound 5, led stereoselectively to compound 6 (pseudo), which is the highly desired intermediate for the preparation of several Corynanthe alkaloids, including (+/-)-hirsutine 7.
