Abstract
[reaction:see text] A synthesis of racemic cytisine 1 has been developed utilizing an intramolecular Heck cyclization to prepare the bridged tricyclic intermediate 2. The cyclization employs activated glutarimide-derived ketene aminals 3 (X = P(O)OEt(2) or SO(2)CF(3)) and represents the first use of such intermediates in metal-catalyzed processes.
