Total Synthesis of (−)-Himandrine

We describe the first total synthesis of (−)-himandrine, a member of the class II galbulimima alkaloids. Noteworthy features of this chemistry include a diastereoselective Diels−Alder reaction in the rapid synthesis of the tricycle ABC-ring system in an enantiomerically enriched form, the use of a f...

description We describe the first total synthesis of (−)-himandrine, a member of the class II galbulimima alkaloids. Noteworthy features of this chemistry include a diastereoselective Diels−Alder reaction in the rapid synthesis of the tricycle ABC-ring system in an enantiomerically enriched form, the use of a formal [3+3] annulation strategy to secure the CDE-ring system with complete diastereoselection, and successful implementation of our biogenetically inspired oxidative spirocyclization of an advanced intermediate. The successful and direct late-stage formation of the F-ring in the hexacyclic core of himandrine drew on the power of biogenetic considerations and fully utilized the inherent chemistry of a plausible biosynthetic intermediate.
