title: A convergent and enantioselective synthesis of (+)-amurensinine via selective C-H and C-C bond insertion reactions.
abstract: A convergent and enantioselective synthesis of the natural product amurensinine is described. The synthetic strategy takes advantage of mild and selective C-H and C-C bond insertion reactions, in addition to the palladium-catalyzed aerobic oxidative kinetic resolution recently developed in these laboratories.
