Abstract

Abstract Described is a synthesis of (−)-senecionine, the best-known hepatotoxic, 12-membered pyrrolizidine alkaloid of retronecine type. Integerrinecic acid lactone methyl ester was converted into protected senecic acid, which was regioselectively coupled with (+)-retronecine, achieving the first synthesis of (−)-senecionine.
