Abstract

The strategy envisages the use of chloroketones for the synthesis of indolizidines, specifically the fenantroindolizidines. This proposal constitutes an innovative approach, allowing not only the synthesis of fenantroindolizidinas, as well as the synthesis of other indolizidine alkaloids. In this project, the phenantroindolizidine alkaloid antofine was selected as a synthetic targets in view of its interesting anti-cancer activities.
