Short Synthesis of (±)-Hirsutine: Direct Addition of Dimethyl Malonate Anion to a 1,4-Conjugate Iminium Salt of Appropriate 3-Ethylindolo(2,3-a)quinolizidine.

-Compound (IV) is an intermediate in known preparations of several corynanthe-type indole alkaloids including (±)-hirsutine (V). It is synthesized by addition of dimethyl malonate anion to in situ prepared 1,4-conjugate iminium salt of (I) in the presence of AgBF4 followed by stereoselective hydrogenation of (III). -(LOUNASMAA, M.;
