An asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of the indole alkaloid deplancheine
We report a novel, facile and asymmetric approach to both enantiomers of the indole alkaloid deplancheine from a readily available, non-racemic chiral template. The natural product, and its antipode, are isolated with >95% e.e
A highly selective synthesis of the indolo[2,3-a]quinolizine ring system and application to natural product synthesis
We present a facile and highly stereoselective approach to the indolo[2,3-a]quinolizine ring
system from a readily available, non-racemic chiral template. We demonstrate the potential for
application of this methodology to natural product synthesis through conversion of the
template to some representative indole alkaloids with high enantiomeric purity in both
enantiomeric series
