An alternative asymmetric synthesis of (+)-(1S,9aS)-homopumiliotoxin 223G (1) was accomplished via (1R,2R,9aS)-1-(benzyloxy)-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-3[(E)-isobutylidene] quinolizidine (4), which was synthesized according to the intramolecular nickel(II)/chromium(II)-mediated cyclization of the N-(iodoalkenyl)aldehyde 2. Compound 4 was converted to the acetate and subjected to reduction with lithium in ammonia, whereupon deprotection of the O-benzyl group and removal of the acetoxyl group occurred in a single operation to afford (+)-homopumiliotoxin 223G. The same sequence using (±)-4 was applied to the synthesis of racemic 223G. Gas chromatography of a sample of racemic 223G showed no separation into enantiomers on four different cyclodextrin-based chiral GC columns. We found, however, that the O-acetates of (±)-223G gave a nearly baseline separation on either a β-cyclodextrin column or a permethylated β-cyclodextrin column. The O-acetate of synthetic (+)-223G was identical on either of these two columns, with the first eluting O-acetate from acetylated (±)-223G and also with the acetylated 223G present in a frog skin extract, thus allowing us to confirm unambiguously the 1S,9aS absolute configurations of natural 223G.

Remarkably high regio- and stereoselective approaches for the syntheses of dendrobatid alkaloids (+)allopumiliotoxin 267A and 339A have been develop. As a model study for these alkaloids, we initially undertook intramolecular chromium(II)-mediated cycliza
