✦ Synopsis
The synthesis of a biologically active 5-azaprostacyclin as well as some of its chemical properties are described. Due to the inherent chemical instability of natural prostacyclin (PGI2) lthere is a great interest in obtaining chemically stable prostacyclin analogs with the same or modified biological profile as PGI2. Several groups have obtained chemically stable PGI2-analogs by replacing the enol ether oxygen in 1 by a sulfur or nitrogen atom2 as well as by a methylene group3. In this paper is described the synthesis of the optically active 5-azaprostacyclin-derivative 3 in which the enol ether system has been replaced by an imino ether moiety. Only a few examples of exocyclic 2-iminotetrahydrofurans have appeared in the literature. These have been usually obtained from&-hydroxy-nitriles or unsaturated nitriles4, from the cyclization of o-halo amides or the condensation of primary amines with 2,2-diethoxytetrahydrofuran5. Attempts to cyclize the nitrile 4" and alkylate the intermediate with ethyl 4-bromobutyrate were not successful.
It therefore became necessary to devis e another approach for the preparation of 5-azaprostacyclin.

IN view of the increasing interest in iboga alkaloids I should like to present some of the preliminary steps toward a total synthesis of ibogaine (I) (1). The successful, stereochemically controlled synthesis of the tetracyclic indole (XVIa) suggests a feasible pathway for the synthesis of I and som
Lycorine L, the major alkaloid constituent of the Amaryllidaceae, has long been a challenging goal for stereospecific total synthesis. Heretofore, published efforts have focussed on the elaboration of a phenanthridine moiety containing rings A,B, and C into the pentacyclic system'. We wish to report
