New asymmetric total syntheses of (-)-dichotomines A-D (1-4) starting from L-tryptophan methyl ester and 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde are described. The absolute configuration of the stereogenic center of (-)-dichotomine A (1) was reconfirmed as (S), on the basis of the X-ray crystallographic analysis of the conjugate (i.e., 17) of its methyl ester (i.e., 16) with (S)-N-tosylproline, whereas the absolute configurations of the stereogenic centers of (-)-dichotomines B-D (2-4) were revised as (R).
