A general syn<strong>the</strong>tic entry to strychnos alkaloids of <strong>the</strong> curan type via a common 3<br />

Abstract<br />
A general strategy <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis of pentacyclic <strong>Strychnos</strong> alkaloids with <strong>the</strong> curan skeleton has<br />
been developed. It utilizes 3a-(2-nitrophenyl)hexahydroindol-4-one (23), which was prepared from 2-<br />
alkyl-2-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione (15), as <strong>the</strong> common, pivotal intermediate. Three<br />
different procedures have been employed <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> closure of <strong>the</strong> bridged piperidine D ring from 23: (i)<br />
an intramolecular Michael-type conjugate addition; (ii) a Ni(COD)(2)-promoted biscyclization that<br />
assembles B and D rings in a single syn<strong>the</strong>tic step, and (iii) an intramolecular cyclization of an<br />
enone-propargylic silane system. when necessary, depending on <strong>the</strong> procedure used, introduction of<br />
<strong>the</strong> oxidized one-carbon substituent at C-16, closure of <strong>the</strong> indole ring, and/or adjustment of <strong>the</strong><br />
functionality of <strong>the</strong> C-20 two-carbon chain constitute <strong>the</strong> last stages of <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>tic route to <strong>the</strong> title<br />
alkaloids. The procedure involving <strong>the</strong> cyclization of a propargylic silane has been successfully<br />
extended to <strong>the</strong> enantiospecific syn<strong>the</strong>sis of (-)-tubifolidine starting from <strong>the</strong> enantiopure 3a-(2-<br />
nitrophenyl)hexahydroindolone (-)-51, which was prepared taking advantage of <strong>the</strong> prochiral<br />
