β¦ Synopsis
The cardiac glycosides (digitalis), which are found in a variety of plant species, are a large group of steroids having a sugar residue at the 313 position. 1 They have been used by indigenous populations in Africa as dart poisons and have found extensive use in modem medicine in the treatment of congestive heart failure. 2 The

Two intramolecular routes were experimented to reach the hexahydrobenzofuro[2,3-c]pyridine platform: a Heck and a radical reaction. The radical route was applicable to all substrates, whereas the Heck route was of limited use. The key adducts were obtained via a Mitsunobu condensation between haloge
