Abstract<br />
A new strategy <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis of pentacyclic <strong>Strychnos</strong> alkaloids has been developed. It consists<br />
in <strong>the</strong> closure of <strong>the</strong> five-membered E ring by cyclization upon <strong>the</strong> indole 3-position from a suitably<br />
N-substituted tetracyclic system embodying rings ABCD of <strong>the</strong> alkaloids. Attempts to effect <strong>the</strong> key<br />
cyclization ei<strong>the</strong>r by Pummerer rearrangement of sulfinylacetamides 4 and 6, from chloroacetamide<br />
12, or from bis(methylthio)acetamide 10b (exocyclic amide carbonyl group) resulted in failure. In<br />
<strong>the</strong> first case dithioacetals 9 and 10, respectively, were <strong>for</strong>med in good yields. Cyclization from<br />
alcohol 13 or from <strong>the</strong> indole-deactivated acetal 15 and dithiocetal 18 were also unsuccessful:<br />
noncyclized products coming from <strong>the</strong> initially <strong>for</strong>med oxonium or thionium intermediates 16 were<br />
obtained. Cyclization was satisfactorily accomplished in 49% yield by treatment of <strong>the</strong> N-<br />
unsubstituted indole dithioacetal 23 with DMTSF. The resulting pentacycle 25 was converted to 20-<br />
deethyltubifolidine (27). A similar treatment from dithioacetal 41a, prepared from <strong>the</strong> secondary<br />
amine 32a, af<strong>for</strong>ded pentacycle 42a, from which <strong>the</strong> alkaloids tubifoline, tubifolidine, and 19,20-<br />
