(+)-Allomatrine (1) has been synthesized using an imino-aldol reaction and N-acyliminium cyclization as key steps. Strategically, use of the tert-butylsulfinimine derivative of (E)-4-(trimethylsilyl)but-2-enal enabled the staged formation of three C-C bon

Short routes to enantiomerically pure indolizidine and quinolizidine alkaloids have been developed using imino-aldol reactions of enolates derived from phenyl 5-chlorovalerate. High levels of syn selectivity (dr ~13-16:1) were obtained using lithium enolates of phenyl esters in combination with tert-butylsulfinyl imines. The imino-aldol adducts were deprotected and cyclized to afford (-)-epilupinine ((-)-2) and (-)-tashiromine ((-)-1) in two further steps.
