A Longitudinal Study of Alkaloid Synthesis Reveals Functional Group Interconversions as Bad Actors

The results of a longitudinal study of alkaloid synthesis that involved five specific approaches are presented. Chemist Albert Ladenburg reduced an unsaturated heteroaromatic molecule to produce a stereogenic, saturated piperidine. The study revealed functional group interconversions as bad actors i...
