Catalytic stereoselective total synthesis of a spiro-oxindole alkaloid and the pentacyclic core of tryptoquivalines

An expedient route to the pentacyclic core of the tryptoquivaline alkaloids and the total synthesis of natural product (+)-3′-(4-oxoquinazolin-3-yl)spiro[1H-indole-3,5′-oxolane]-2,2′-dione (1) have been achieved. The route is enabled by a key, highly stereoselective, aldol reaction catalysed by a Ag...
