Abstract
The synthesis of the tropoloisoquinoline alkaloid pareitropone has been accomplished in 14 steps from 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoic acid. The key transformations include the generation of an alkylidenecarbene intermediate through intramolecular addition of a tosylamide anion to an alkynyliodonium salt, and the cycloaddition of that carbene to a peri positioned aromatic ring to afford a cycloheptatrienylidene product featuring the intact pareitropone skeleton.
