title: A concise palladium-catalyzed carboamination route to (+/-)-tylophorine.
abstract: A total synthesis of the racemic natural product tylophorine [(+/-)-1] has been demonstrated using the palladium-catalyzed carboamination method developed by Wolfe and co-workers. In this case, an electron-rich aryl bromide 18 was prepared in four steps and subjected to palladium-catalyzed Wolfe carboamination conditions with olefinic carbamate 7 to provide the racemic 2-(arylmethyl)pyrrolidine (+/-)-19 in good yield and was further elaborated to racemic tylophorine. This application of the Wolfe carboamination protocol as a key step to construct a natural product provides further evidence of the utility of the method.
