Enantioselective Synthesis of (-)-Vallesine: Late-Stage C17-Oxidation via Complex Indole Boronation

The first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-vallesine via a strategy that features a late-stage regioselective C17-oxidation followed by a highly stereoselective transannular cyclization is reported. The versatility of this approach is highlighted by the divergent synthesis of the archetypal alkaloid of this family, (+)-aspidospermidine, and an A-ring-oxygenated derivative, (+)-deacetylaspidospermine, the precursor to (-)-vallesine, from a common intermediate.

Divergent Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (+)-Vincadifformine, (-)-Quebrachamine, (+)-Aspidospermidine, (-)-Aspidospermine, (-)-Pyrifolidine, and Related Natural Products

A uniformly strategic total synthesis of Aspidosperma alkaloids (+)-vincadifformine, (-)-quebrachamine, (+)-aspidospermidine, (-)-aspidospermine, (-)-pyrifolidine, and nine others from efficiently constructed tricyclic ketone 13 is reported. Highlights of these divergent and practical syntheses include (i) stereoselective intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition to establish a C-E ring with one all-carbon quaternary stereocenter (C-5) and two bridged contiguous cis-stereocenters (C-12 and C-19), (ii) a Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation/deprotection/amidation cascade process to assemble the D ring, and (iii) Fischer indolization to forge the A-B ring.

Total synthesis of (-)-aspidospermine via diastereoselective ring-closing olefin metathesis

(Matrix presented) An enantiocontrolled total synthesis of (-)-aspidospermine has been achieved. The key element of the strategy is the diastereoselective construction of the quaternary stereogenic center employing 1,4-asymmetric induction during the ring-closing olefin metathesis.
