Biomimetic synthesis of tangutorine following new biogenetic proposals.
Following new biosynthetic proposals, an expeditious synthesis of tangutorine, an indolic alkaloid from Nitraria tangutorum has been achieved in three steps from simple C(5) lysine-derived units. The work also includes further insights into the biosynthesis of Nitraria alkaloids.
