Abstract

Racemic latitine (+)-(1), a new representative of the rare phenolic Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, has been synthesized by employing the Claisen rearrangement of 4-benzyloxycinnamyl 2-methoxyphenyl ether (11) as a key step. Based on the racemic synthesis, (R)-(+)-latifine (R)-(1), the unnatural enantiomer, has also been synthesized from (S)-O-benzylglycidol (S)-(3) via (S)-1-benzyloxy-3-phenylthio-propan-2-ol (S) -(4) as a key intermediate. © 1985, The Royal Society of Chemistry.
