Organic letters 2004 Dec 9reaction: see text] A short and unique approach to (+/-)-lycoramine as one of the galanthamine-type alkaloids has been efficiently developed. The alternative advantage lies in that three stereocenters, including a crucial quaternary carbon center, were constructed with high diasteroselectivity via a key one-step NBS-mediated semipinacol rearrangement of the allylic alcohol.
