The first asymmetric total synthesis of new biphenylquinolizidine alkaloids 4″-O-demethyllythridine and 14-epi-4″-O-demethyllythridine isolated from Heimia salicifolia was accomplished. The key steps in the synthesis were a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular aza-Michael reaction to build a chiral 4-arylquinolizidine unit and an intramolecular Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction to construct a macrolactone ring comprising a biphenyl moiety.

The total syntheses of the Lythracea alkaloids (+)-vertine and (+)-lythrine are described. Enantioenriched pelletierine is used as a chiral building block and engaged into a two step pelletierine condensation leading to two quinolizidin-2-one diastereomers in a 8:1 ratio. The major product is used in the synthesis of (+)-vertine via aryl-aryl coupling and ring closing metathesis to provide a Z-alkene α to the lactone carbonyl function. The same procedure was used for (+)-lythrine after base induced epimerization of the main quinolizidin-2-one diastereomer. Alternative classical ring closure strategies like macrolactonisation or aryl-aryl coupling failed.
ALKALOIDS OF HEIMIA MONTANA

The alkaloid composition of the little known Heimia species, H. montana has been determined.A new alkaloid, demethylvertine, has been isolated from this species and a close biogenetic correlation with other members of the genus has been established.Differences in alkaloid metabolism among the three species of Heimia have been demonstrated.
