Concise synthesis of the vasorelaxant alkaloids schwarzinicines A and B

A concise synthesis of the 1,4-diarylbutanoid-phenethylamine alkaloids, schwarzinicines A (1) and B (2), recently isolated from Ficus schwarzii, is reported. Key steps include a Claisen condensation to assemble the 1,4-diaryl-2-butanone intermediate, followed by a reductive amination to furnish the...
