Abstract / Description of output

A two-step route for the synthesis of albizziine from N(alpha)-Boc-asparagine which proceeds in 65% overall yield is disclosed. A high-yielding, six-step route for the synthesis of its protected amido derivative gives rapid access to a key component of the complex aminopolyol natural product, zwittermicin A.
