Synthesis of 3-alkylpyridines. Part I: Total Synthesis of (±)-ikimine A

Abstract
The cytostatic ikimine A (9) is prepared by a convergent synthesis based on acylation of 2-methyl-3-(2-thiophene)-1-propylacetate (2), reductive de- sulfurization, and functional group transformation as a general route to methyl branched racemic and nonracemic chiral 3-alkylpyridines.
