%T Total synthesis of (-)-sessilifoliamide C and (-)-8-epi-stemoamide
%X A convergent route featuring [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of a linchpin azepinopyrrolidine served to install two of the four contiguous stereocenters present in the tricyclic Stemona alkaloids sessilifoliamide and stemoamide. In addition to the first total synthesis of (-)-sessilifoliamide C, a potential biosynthetic relationship between the sessilifoliamides and previously reported Stemona alkaloids is presented. ? 2011 American Chemical Society.
