LDA, TMSCl96%"a target which was chosen not only to test the

validity of the synthetic scheme, but also because it might be possible to introduce into it the amine functionality which is required to construct the pyrrolidine and oxindole rings of 1 [gelsemine] itself."

6:1 alkene isomers

Tet. Lett. 1987, 1035Fleming's Approach"We reported earlier our plan to synthesize gelsemine (1) by way, successively, of a diketone of the general structure (3), with the ketone group differentiated is some way, and a ketone of general structure (2). In each of the synthetic steps (3 -> 2) and (2 -> 1), a ketone group is to serve as the precusor of a quaternary centre, and it is the challenge of these steps that most excited our interest in the synthesis of gelsemine.
