title: Synthesis of the erythrina alkaloid erysotramidine.
abstract: A concise synthesis of erysotramidine (an alkaloid belonging to the erythrina family) was achieved starting with an inexpensive phenol and amine derivative. The synthesis is based on oxidative phenol dearomatizations mediated by a hypervalent iodine reagent and includes a novel route to a key indolinone moiety.
