Abstract

An efficient Ag(I)-catalyzed π-acid activation method for the cyclization of cyclic ketimine-tethered ynones is reported. Various nitrogen-containing scaffolds commonly found in bioactive alkaloids can be prepared in high yields, and the utility of the method is demonstrated by a formal synthesis of (±)-lasubine II and in a short total synthesis of (±)-indolizidine 209D.
