title: Synthesis of the tricyclic core of alkaloid securinol B using a cascade of Vilsmeier-Haack and Mannich cyclizations.
abstract: Iminium ions generated upon amide activation were trapped sequentially with tethered nucleophiles. This cascade of cyclizations constitutes a new synthetic strategy that was applied to the construction of the tricyclic core of alkaloid securinol B.
