Roessler, Ulrich,Blechert, Siegfried,Steckhan, Eberhard
, p. 7075 - 7078 (2007/10/03)
The cytotoxic alkaloid canthin-6-one was synthesized from harmalane in a short sequence (six steps) with good overall yield (18 percent) using a single electron transfer (SET) induced radical cationic hetero [4+2] cycloaddition as high yielding key step.
