✦ Synopsis
In continuation of our efforts to develop methods of potential usefulness in the synthesis of Iycopodium alkaloids, we have turned our attention to annotinine I (1). A priori, the best entry into the system of this compound seemed a Beckmann rearrangement of an oxime of the type II obtainable from the corresponding ketone which in turn is a photoadduct of propenn and the cyclopentenone III. The model compound (II, R,, R, = H) was easily obtained (3) but the Beckmann rearrangement, while yielding some of the lactam IV, was unpromising.
Consequently, we have decided to synthesize the system V and to investigate its behaviour in photoadditions.
