Treatment with a chloroformate ester at -70 deg C and subsequent reaction with NaBH3CN converts 1,2,5,6,11,11b-hexahydro-3H-indoloindolizine and derivatives of 1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12b-octahydroindoloquinolizine cleanly into corresponding C/D ring-cleaved urethane derivatives.Oxidation of the products with 1-chlorobenzotriazole in dichlormethane or in methanol as a participating solvent refunctionalises the centre, reduced during the cleavage reaction and permits a formal reversal of that reaction.The overall result in the case of the quinolizidine derivatives is partial epimerisation at C-12b, a process which is exemplified in the syntheses of methyl(+/-)-geissochizoate and akuammigine from their respective epimers.The sequence finds its application par excellence in the synthesis of the pentacyclic mavacurine skeleton, in wich chirality at C-12b is re-established dependently during ring regeneration after oxidation in the presence of Et3N.The same reaction provides test implications for an investigation of the stereochemistry of the reductive cleavage reaction, during wich the incorporation of deuterium (from NaBD3CN) is shown by chemical correlation to proceed with stereospecific inversion of configuration.

The processes of reductive opening and oxidative reclosing of the 3,4-bond have been applied to effect overall epimerisation at C-3 in the transformation of synthetic epi-geissoschizine analogues into mavacurine-type alkaloids.

Treatment with a chloroformate ester at -70 deg C and subsequent reaction with NaBH3CN converts 1,2,5,6,11,11b-hexahydro-3H-indoloindolizine and derivatives of 1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12b-octahydroindoloquinolizine cleanly into the corresponding C/D
