Radical cyclization of o-alkenylthioanilides using hypophosphorous acid and AIBN in the presence of Et3N proceeded smoothly to furnish the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted indoles in high yields. Utilizing the newly developed cyciization condition, a stereocontrolled total synthesis of (±)-catharanthine has been completed.

(matrix presented) A stereocontrolled total synthesis of (±)-catharanthine, 1, has been completed. The key step involves the radical-mediated cyclization of a highly functionalized intermediate to furnish the corresponding indole. The cyclization utilizes

The first synthesis of natural (+)-catharanthine (1) has been achieved in a few steps and in ca. 20 percent overall yield based on indole-3-acetic acid.The isomeric (+/-)-allocatharanthine was also prepared.
