title: A convergent approach to cyclopeptide alkaloids: total synthesis of sanjoinine G1.
abstract: A general strategy for the synthesis of cyclopeptide alkaloids containing an endocyclic aryl-alkyl ether bond has been developed featuring a key intramolecular S(N)Ar reaction. The importance of the N-terminal protective group in the realization of such a strategy is documented. From the appropriate amino acid constituents, the natural sanjoinine G1, a 14-membered para cyclophane, has been synthesized in seven steps with 21% overall yield.
