Asymmetric dihydroxylation of (E)-ethyl 2-isopropylbut-2-enoate with AD-mix-a and AD-mix-P, followed by saponification, gives (-)- and (+)-trachelanthic acids, respectively, which are each coupled via their acetonides with (+)-retronecine to yield the pyrrolizidine alkaloids indicine and intermedine.

Two new pyrrolizidine alkaloids, ideamines A and B, together with other analogs (lycopsamine and parsonsine) were isolated in the N-oxide forms from adult bodies of the Apocynaceae-feeding danaine butterfly, Idea leuconoe.Ideamine A was characterized as a homolog of lycopsamine, in which the viridifloric acid moiety was replaced by a 2-ethyl-2,3-dihydroxybutanoic moiety.Likewise, ideamine B was identified as a nor-derivative of parsonsine, in which the trachelanthic acid moiety was replaced by a 2-ethyl-2,3-dihydroxybutanoic moiety diastereomeric to the necic acid from ideamine A.

The total syntheses of (-)-indicine N-oxide, the enantiomer of natural indicine N-oxide and intermedine N-oxide have been achieved.

(-)- and (+)-trachelanthic and (-)- and (+)-viridifloric acids were synthesized and their isopropylidene derivatives were regiospecifically coupled, at C-9, with (-)-retronecine (2) obtained by hydrolysis of monocrotaline (1), isolated from Crotalaria spectabilis. Hydrolysis, followed by oxidation, led to the N-oxides of indicine (7), intermedine (13), lycopsamine (15), and the new nonnatural product 16, respectively. Each of these analogues was screened in the P388 lymphocytic leukemia system at the same time as indicine N-oxide, and the results were compared. Other related analogues were prepared and similarly screened and the results compared with those from indicine N-oxide.
