The synthesis of the tetraenylpiperidine 12, which has the same core structure as the natural product corydendramine A, has been completed in eight steps starting from 2-piperidinemethanol 3 and trans,trans-2,6-nonadienal 6. The key step of the synthesis was a Julia coupling of sulfone (10) with aldehyde (5) to form a conjugated triene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
