A general approach (oxyanion-Cope strategy) for the synthesis of sarpagine/ajmaline indole alkaloids has been developed. (+)-Ajmaline 1 and alkaloid G 2 as well as norsuaveoline 3 have been synthesized from D-(+)-tryptophan in enantiospecific fashion via

The synthesis of the tetracyclic ketone was carried out in enantiospecific fashion (>98percent ee) via the 1,3-transfer of chirality from Na-methyl, Nb-benzyl tryptophan methyl ester to the trans diastereomer in the Pictet-Spengler reaction.Although the condensation of 14 with aldehyde (15) in refluxing benzene generated the tetrahydro β-carbolines (4b/5b) in a kinetic ratio (72:28), epimerization (C-1) of the cis diastereomer into the trans isomer occurred stereospecifically under acidic conditions.Dieckmann cyclizatin of either the Na-methyl, Nb-benzyl-cis-(+)-5b or trans-(-)-4b diastereomer provided the cis-bicyclo-azanonane system at approximately the same rate, although the β-keto esters were antipodal, in contrast to results reported in the Na-benzyl series by Magnus.

The first total synthesis of the indole alkaloid (±)-suaveoline 1 (a macroline-related base and a member of the sarpagine/ajmaline class of alkaloids) was completed in a stereocontrolled fashion. The serial synthesis employed three intramolecular reaction
PICTET-SPENGLER REACTIONS IN APROTIC MEDIA. STEREOSPECIFIC CONVERSION OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE CIS-1,3-DISUBSTITUTED 1,2,3,4-TETRAHYDRO-β-CARBOLINES INTO THEIR CORRESPONDING TRANS DIASTEREOMERS

The Pictet-Spengler reaction in refluxing benzene of D-(+)-Na-methyl-Nb-benzyltryptophan methyl ester 1 and methyl 3-formyl-propionate 2, regioselectively, furnished the trans-1,3-disubstituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline 3 (72percent) with no detectable racemization at position-3. The optically active cis-diastereomer 4 (28percent), which accompanied 3, was converted (CH3OH, HCl, heating) into the trans isomer 3 via the ring-cleaved carbocation intermediate 7, followed by stereospecific intramolecular cyclization.

The Nb-benzyl group (see 7) has been employed in the Pictet-Spengler reaction in refluxing benzene to provide complete retention of optical activity in this process.The tetrahydro-β-carbolines 3b (trans) and 4b (cis) were independently converte

The Pictet-Spengler reaction of Na-methyl-Nb-benzyltryptophan methyl ester hydrochloride (4a) with methyl 3-formylpropionate was carried out in 50percent aqueous MeOH under reflux to afford methyl trans-2-benzyl-3-methoxycarbonyl-9-m
