Optimising admission to scope time for acute GI bleeding (UGIB): retrospective comparative analysis of the timing of endoscopy for UGIB in a Queensland quaternary centre following international recommendations for best practice

A concise enantioselective approach to the tetracyclic core of the magellanine-type Lycopodium alkaloids is reported. Key to this approach is the use of the Hajos-Parrish reaction to set a challenging quaternary stereocenter, thereby guiding the stereoselectivity for the remainder of the synthesis, as well as the use of a palladium-mediated direct pyridine functionalization reaction to forge the tetracyclic core.
