title: Olefin metathesis based approach to diversely functionalized pyrrolizidines and indolizidines; total synthesis of (+)-monomorine.
abstract: New scaffolds for the stereoselective synthesis of diversely functionalized chiral enantiopure indolizidines and pyrrolizidines were synthesized from the cross and ring-closing metathesis reactions of appropriate intermediates, readily available from L-pyroglutamic acid. The versatility of this strategy was demonstrated by the synthesis of an indolizidine-based azasugar analogue and of the natural alkaloid (+)-monomorine.
