Abstract

A practical and efficient total synthesis of (±)-galanthamine was achieved from commercially available materials through a novel approach, in which the construction of its core structure and the special allylic group were based on a successive semipinacol rearrangement/desilyation/cyclization and Saegusa-Ito oxidation, respectively.
