title: Synthesis of aza bicyclic enones via anionic cyclization: application to the total synthesis of (-)-brunsvigine.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A general approach to the synthesis of aza bicyclic enones was developed via a simple two-step annulation involving a Mitsunobu protocol and anionic cyclization. According to this strategy the total synthesis of (-)-brunsvigine was accomplished with 12% overall yield.
