title: Total synthesis of amaryllidaceae alkaloid buflavine.
abstract: A concise synthesis of the amaryllidaceae alkaloid buflavine (1) and its regioisomer (2) involving sequential Meyers' biaryl coupling, enecarbamate formation, and hydrogenation followed by ultimate intramolecular reductive amination is presented.
