Asymmetric syntheses of the following 17-membered macrocyclic spermine alkaloids are presented: (-)-(S)-protoverbine (= (8S)-8-phenyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacycloheptadecane-6-one: 1), (+)-(S)-protomethine (=(2S)-2-phenyl-1,5,9,14-tetraazabicyclo[12.3.1]octadec

Dihydroxyverbacine (10), a precursor for oxidative phenol coupling, was obtained via (±)-buchnerine (14), whose synthesis is described. The oxidizing system hemin (ferriprotoporphyrin IX chloride)/H2O2 promoted intramolecular coupling of 10 to give the alkaloids aphelandrine (1), orantine (2), and chaenorpine (7). The alkaloids were identified by on-line coupled HPLC and atmospheric-pressure chemical-ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry.
