A total synthesis of racemic a-allokainic acid is described, which starts from allylsilane 8 and methoxy-or chloroglycine derivative 9, and proceeds fully stereoselectively in nine steps and 1.1% overall yield. Key steps are the intermolecular N-acyliminium ion coupling of 8 with 9 and an intramolec

✦ Synopsis
Anatoxin-a has been synthesized in 8 steps, starting from succinimide, 4-bromo-l--butene and dimethyl (2-oxopropyl)phosphonate, by employing as the key step an intramolecular reaction of an N-acyliminium precursor with an cu,&unsaturated ketone moiety, induced by saturated HCl in MeOH at -5OOC.
Anatoxin-a (1) is a potent neurotoxin, produced by certain strains of the fresh water blue green alga Anabaena flos-aquae'. Both its unique structure (the only natural product identified to date with the 9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane skeleton), and its significant biological properties (powerful nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist2) have aroused the interest of synthetic
