The first total synthesis of the Alangium alkaloid alancine (10) has been achieved in the form of a racemic modification by means of catalytic hydrogenolysis of the tricyclic amino acid (±) -9. Treatment of (±) -10 with aqueous HCl afforded the hydrochloride salt (±) -11. A parallel synthesis starti...
