Wender

Although Wender s synthesis was completed prior to Hudlicky s, it was published later [65]. It utilized the technique of mefa-photocycloaddition of arenes that Wender developed into a general method of synthesis for both angular and linear triquinanes. The overall strategy was centered around an intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition for construction of the internal six-membered ring of the target.

Wender and Aube have independently described the use of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction in the synthesis of Yohimban alkaloids. Aube s approach involved the cyclization of indole 50 followed by reduction of the resulting dihydroisoquinoline...
