    Abstract

    The spirocyclic pyrrole alkaloid, acortatarin A, which had been isolated from a Chinese medicinal plant, was synthesized from a known olefinic compound by a concise six-step sequence involving N-alkylation of a pyrrole derivative with an α-bromo ketone intermediate as the key step.
