✦ Synopsis


Abstract

The synthesis of aldehyde intermediates suitable for the preparation of indole alkaloids of the tacamine (1) type is described. The four possible aldehydes 4–7 were prepared from methyl 5‐ethylnicotinate (8) in a few simple steps using a base‐catalyzed epimerization as the final step (Schemes 1 and 2). The key aldehyde 4, which is an analogue of the important vincamine intermediate 3 (‘Oppolzer's aldehyde’), was finally converted into the indole alkaloid (±)‐apotacamine (21).
