Concise biomimetic syntheses of the Strychnos-Strychnos-type bis-indole alkaloids (-)-leucoridine A (1) and C (2) were accomplished through the biomimetic dimerization of (-)-dihydrovalparicine (3). En route to 3, the known alkaloids (+)-geissoschizoline (8) and (-)-dehydrogeissoschizoline (10) were also prepared. DFT calculations were employed to elucidate the mechanism, which favors a stepwise aza-Michael/spirocyclization sequence over the alternate hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction.
