Abstract

A synthesis of enantiomerically pure indolizidine alkaloid 209B, beginning from naturally occurring pulegone, is described. The key step is the formation of a bicyclic lactam via the intramolecular Schmidt reaction of an alkyl azide with a cyclic ketone. The 11-pot synthesis was accomplished in an overall yield of 21.9%
