Stereocontrolled Construction of Azacyclic Natural Products
Yoshinori Yamamoto of Tohoku University has pioneered the Pd-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of alkynes. He has now demonstrated (Tetrahedron Lett. 2005, 46, 2101.DOI: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2005.01.139)that such cylizations can proceed with high diastereocontrol.…
