Key words
(±)-aspidofractinine - Bischler–Napieralski reaction - semipinacol rearrangment - Mannich reaction
Significance
The authors report the total synthesis of (±)-aspidofractinine employing a Bischler–Napieralski/semipinacol sequence as key step. In combination with a Mannich reaction, four aspidofractinine alkaloids were synthesized, all containing a bicyclo[2.2.2]octane framework.

Comment
Treatment of formamide D with Tf2O triggered the Bischler–Napieralski/semipinacol cascade furnishing hemiacetal F, which underwent a Mannich reaction to give ketone G. Ring expansion followed by glycol-cleavage and aldol condensation led to enone N, which was transformed to the natural product after functional group interconversions.
