Abstract in another language

The epimeric bisquinolizidines baptifoline and epibaptifoline are C-13 hydroxylated derivatives of the well-known lupine alkaloid anagyrine. We synthesized both compounds from 11-allylcytisine and determined their uncertain configuration at the C-13 stereocenter by NMR, chemical transformation, and X-ray. The alcohol function was found to be in endo (α) position in baptifoline (configuration: 7R, 9R, 11R, 13R) and in exo (β) position in epibaptifoline (configuration: 7R, 9R, 11R, 13S).
