The Total Synthesis of Racemic Napelline

Abstract
Lucidusculine 1 was converted into the lactame 5. This compound is identical with the corresponding racemate described in the accompanying Communication. The synthesis of napelline 2 from the lactame 5 is discussed. The process completes the first (formal) total synthesis of a racemic hexacyclic polysubstituted aconite alkaloid.
