Efficient formal total synthesis of the erythrina alkaloid (+)-erysotramidine, using a domino process.
A domino process consisting of an amidation, spirocyclization, and formation of an iminium ion and electrophilic aromatic substitution of a phenylethylamine and a ketoester leads to the spirocyclic skeleton of (+)-erysotramidine, which can be further transformed into the natural alkaloid.
