The total syntheses of (±)-chanoclavine-I, (±)-chanoclavine-II, and (±)-agroclavine-I were accomplished as well from the synthetic intermediates involved in the synthesis of (±)-6,7-secoagroclavine, culminating in establishing an efficient and common synthetic method for ergot alkaloids. © 2007 The Japan Institute of Heterocyclic Chemistry.}, pages = {599--620}, title = {Synthetic studies directed toward ergot alkaloids, (±)-6,7-secoagroclavine, (±)-chanoclavine-1, (±)-chanoclavine-II, and (±)-agroclavine-I, by an efficient and common synthetic route}, volume = {72}, year = {2007} }
