β¦ Synopsis
We were impressed by the fact that such structurally dissimilar alkaloid families as the Strychnos, Aspidosperma, Senecio, Amaryllidaceae, and Tobacco all incorporate various perturbations of the pyrrolidine ring system [3]. Reasoning that any potentially general synthetic adventure into this vast array should, in principle, benefit from the nucleoohilic properties associated with the task was reduced to this central character.

We recently reported (3) the total synthesis of the simple pyridine alkaloids myosmine [3] and apoferrorosamine [4] by means of the thermally induced, acid catalyzed, rearrangement of cyclopropyl ketimines [l]. The success and efficiency of these experiments has prompted us to further investigate th
