Figure presented A novel formal synthesis of cephalotaxine (CET), the parent structure of the antileukemia Cephalotaxus alkaloids, was achieved via a facile Friedel-Crafts cyclization of the amino (or amido) spiro-cyclopentenone precursor (A) mediated by

1-[2-(o-Iodophenyl)acetyl]-2-(prop-2-enyl)-2-vinylpyrrolidine (17), upon treatment with palladium(II) acetate [Pd(OAc)2] in the presence of tripheoylphosphine and triethylamine in refluxing acetonitrile, gave the monocylization product 20 as the major product along with a small amount of the tandem cyclization product 21. On the other hand, treatment of the 1-[2- (o-iodophenyl)aeetyl]-1-azaspiro[4.4]non-8-en-7-one (25) with Pd(OAc)2, 1,3- bis-(diphenylphosphino)propane, tributylphosphine, and silver carbonate in boiling N,N-dimethylformamide afforded the cyclized product 27 in 51% yield.
