title: Intramolecular imino Diels-Alder approach to the synthesis of the aspidosperma alkaloid from 3,5-dibromo-2-pyrone.
abstract: A new synthetic route to the key framework of aspidosperma alkaloid was devised from the cycloadduct of 3-(2-nitrophenyl)-5-bromo-2-pyrone via intramolecular imino Diels-Alder reaction.
