Transition Metals in Organic Synthesis, Part 84. Application of Iron- and Nickel-Mediated Coupling Reactions to the Total Synthesis of the Neuronal Cell Protecting Substance (±)-Carquinostatin A

Using iron-and nickel-mediated coupling reactions as key steps a convergent and highly efficient total synthesis of the potent neuronal cell protecting alkaloid (±)-carquinostatin A has been accomplished.
