title: Asymmetric synthesis of substituted homotropinones from N-sulfinyl beta-amino ketone ketals. (-)-Euphococcinine and (-)-adaline.
abstract: Sulfinimine-derived N-sulfinyl beta-amino ketone ketals on heating with NH(4)OAc:HOAc undergo a four-step intramolecular Mannich cyclization cascade reaction to give homotropinones, such as (-)-euphococcinine, in excellent yields as single isomers.
