Abstract
Using the Horner-Wittig reaction, aldehydes I and II were converted, with high E-selectivity, into ethyl esters of substituted acrylic acids, VI and VII. The N-anions generated by deprotonation of derivative I-V with sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran reacted with vinyltriphenylphosphonium bromide with the formation of derivatives of pyrrolo[1,2-a]ergoline-I, XI-XV.
