An optically active tetrahydroquinoline intermediate (5) was prepared in 8 steps from monoprotected ethylene glycol, using a Pd-catalysed aza-Michael reaction to induce chirality. This can be transformed into three Galipea alkaloids (angustureine, galipeine and cuspareine). The proximity of a benzyloxy group is found to exert profound effects in several steps of the synthesis.
一种手性的四氢喹啉中间体（5）经八步反应，从单保护的乙二醇出发，通过钯催化的氮杂迈克尔加成反应诱导手性，可转化为三种戈里帕生物碱（安古斯特林、戈里帕碱和库斯帕林）。苄氧基的存在对合成的几个步骤都有深远的影响。
