Abstract

Reaction of various dehydroamino esters with tin hydrides resulted in 5-endo-5-exo or 5-endo-6-endo tandem cyclisation reactions. The preferred pathway was dependent on alkene substitution and the bicyclic products have potential application in indolizidine and pyrrolizidine alkaloid synthesis. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
