Key words
hexahydroapoerysopine - [3+2] cycloaddition -

Significance
Hexahydroapoerysopine is a polycyclic alkaloid whose tetracyclic scaffold was constructed using methodology for the synthesis of aminoenones via chloroalkyl enones and sodium azide. The key step of this short synthesis is the regioselective [3+2] cycloaddition and rearrangement to give I.
Comment
The authors’ proposed mechanism is shown (F → I); however, the reaction could also proceed via a radical cleavage and recombination process as reported (K. S. Feldman, M. R. Iyer, D. K. Hester II Org. Lett. 2006, 8, 3113).
