title: Synthetic studies on Et-743. Asymmetric, stereocontrolled construction of the tetrahydroisoquinoline core via radical cyclization on a glyoxalimine.
abstract: [Structure: see text] The asymmetric synthesis of a highly functionalized tetrahydroisoquinoline relevant to the total synthesis of Et-743 is described. The key step involves a highly diastereoselective radical cyclization on a glyoxalimine derivative.
