ChemInform Abstract: Synthetic Efforts Toward the Lycopodium Alkaloids Inspires a Hydrogen Iodide Mediated Method for the Hydroamination and Hydroetherification of Olefins

The synthesis of the tricyclus (VI), which is a useful precursor for the preparation of Lycopodium alkaloids involves a Diels—Alder cycloaddition and the cyclization of amine (V) as the key steps.
