Abstract

The first examples of Rh-catalyzed cyclohydrocarbonylation-bicyclization of N-allylic amides of arylacetic acids are reported. This novel carbonylative bicyclization process was successfully applied to the rapid syntheses of crispine A and its analogues (tricyclic indolizidine alkaloids) as well as harmicine (tetracyclic β-carboline alkaloid).
