Herein, facile and enantioselective approaches to synthesize the core phthalide tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold of (?)-β-hydrastineviaboth a CF3COOH-catalyzed (86% ee) and KHMDS-catalyzed (78% ee) epoxide ring-opening/transesterification cascade cyclization from chiral epoxide under very mild conditions are described. The key elements include a highly enantioselective epoxidation using the Shi ketone catalyst and an intramolecular CF3COOH-catalyzed cascade cyclization in one pot, and a late-stage C-3′ epimerization under MeOK/MeOH conditions as the key steps to achieve the first total synthesis of (?)-β-hydrastine (up to 81% ee).

Zinc-promoted reductive coupling reaction of iminium salts with alkyl halides was found to be a successful key reaction for synthesis of a variety of alkaloids such as benzylisoquinoline, phthalidylisoquinoline, and protoberberine alkaloids.More specifically, laudanosine, cordrastine, hydrastine, narcotine, tetrahydropalmatine, and canadine were obtained.A new route for the synthesis of the emetine and yohimbine skeletons was exploited.
