title: Concise synthesis of bicyclic aminals and their evaluation as precursors to the sarain core.
abstract: A number of bicyclic aminals have been prepared in a stereospecific manner as potential precursors to the core structure of the sarain alkaloids. Rearrangement of these aminals to new diazabicyclic and diazatricyclic systems has been observed under various conditions.
