In almost all cases higher yields and fewer side products were observed, compared to the analogous 4-methoxy benzene diazonium salts. In contrast, the reaction fails completely with 2- and 3-phenol diazonium salts. For these substitution patterns the methoxy-substituted derivatives are superior.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtHoelter2009, author = {Schmidt, Bernd and Hoelter, Frank}, title = {A stereodivergent synthesis of all stereoisomers of centrolobine : control of selectivity by a protecting-group manipulation}, issn = {0947-6539}, doi = {10.1002/chem.200902053}, year = {2009}, abstract = {All stereoisomers of the natural product centrolobine are selectively synthesized, by starting from a common precursor. Key steps are an enantioselective allylation with enantiomerically pure allylsilanes, a tandem ring-closing metathesis-isomerization reaction, and a Heck reaction by using an arene diazonium salt. By choosing appropriate conditions for the final deprotection step, either the cis-configured centrolobines or their epimers are selectively obtained.}, language = {en} }
