Synthesis of an analgesic
« on: April 11, 2013, 02:19:58 PM »

I have proposed this particular reaction for the synthesis of a naturally occurring compond "Epibatadine" an analgesic.

I would like to discuss on its synthetic strategy.

Thanks.

I have seen cyclopentadiene being used for a Diels-Alder. But pyrrole is aromatic. So, I don't know to what extent this is feasible (unless you've verified the reaction from some source)

Diels-Alder reaction of N-BOC pyrrole and methyl pyrrole-1-carboxylate were used in synthesis of epibatidine.
