Description
Summary:2-Imino-2′-methyl biaryls, conveniently available by Suzuki cross coupling protocol, undergo lithium diethyl amide-mediated metalation - cyclization to give 9-aminophenanthrenes (Table 1). The application of this new general methodology to the first synthesis of the alkaloid piperolactam C ( 9) is described. Graphic
