First total synthesis of a novel monoterpenoid isoquinoline alkaloid, (+/-)-alangine.
The structure including the stereochemistry of a novel monoterpenoid isoquinoline alkaloid, alangine, was confirmed by total synthesis via N-acyliminium cyclization to construct the isoquinoline skeleton and reductive cleavage of vinyl epoxide with Pd(0) catalyst.
