A five-step total synthesis of arborisidine, a caged pentacyclic monoterpene indole alkaloid,
has been accomplished in both racemic and enantioselective manners. The synthesis …

The first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-alstonlarsine A has been realized. The prominent
features of the current synthesis include the following:(i) a Pd/self-adaptable ligand complex …

Strictamine and rhazinoline are representative methanoquinolizidine‐containing
akuammiline alkaloids that possess different stereochemistry at the C16 position. A unified …

The first total synthesis of arborisidine, a unique Kopsia indole alkaloid possessing a fully
substituted cyclohexanone ring system with two quaternary carbons, has been achieved in …

Abstract Echitamine (1) and akuammiline (2) are representative members of a fascinating
class of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids. We report the syntheses of 2 and its congener …

One undescribed indole alkaloid together with twenty-two known compounds have been
isolated from aerial parts of Vinca minor L.(Apocynaceae). The chemical structures of the …

The akuammiline alkaloids are a structurally diverse class of bioactive natural products
isolated from plants found in various parts of the world. A particularly challenging subset of …

Achieving the synthesis of densely-functionalized, cage-like alkaloids has long proven quite
challenging, with the success of individual events often being acutely sensitive to minute …

A gold-catalyzed cyclization reaction of alkynyl-indoles has been developed for the
stereoselective construction of the quaternary carbon center of fused indolines. This reaction …

The total syntheses of C-mavacurine-type indole alkaloids,(±)-pleiocarpamine,(±)-
normavacurine, and (±)-C-mavacurine, were accomplished. The key step in the syntheses …
