Efforts in our laboratories to devise a general approach to the synthesis of alkaloids focus on the versatile reactivity of enaminones and related compounds containing the structural unit N-C=C-Z (Z = COR, CO2R, CN, NO2, SO2Ar, etc.). This lecture presents an overview of our research with these useful building blocks. Themes to be elaborated include chemoselectivity and diastereoselectivity in reactions of enaminones, and the challenge of controlling absolute stereochemistry. © 1999 IUPAC.
