Method development towards the synthesis of the alkaloid Alexine using 3-alkoxy, 3-acyloxy or 3-trialkylsilyl allyl organo indium, zinc, or boron reagents

This thesis reports on the development of synthetic methodology which could be used in further studies for synthesis of the alkaloid alexine. To achieve this the addition reactions of 3-alkoxy, 3-acyloxy or 3-trialkylsilyl allyl organo indium, zinc, or boron reagents to in situ formed or preformed imines were studied.
