文摘

We report a concise and highly enantioselective total synthesis of (−)-alstoscholarisine A (1), a recently isolated monoterpenoid indole alkaloid that has significant bioactivity in promoting adult neuronal stem cells proliferation. A highly enantioselective (99% ee), intramolecular Ir-catalyzed Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indole 9 with a secondary allylic alcohol was utilized to establish the first stereogenic center upon which the other three contiguous chiral centers were readily set by a highly stereoselective tandem 1,4-addition and aldol reaction. The key tetrahydropyran was constructed through a hemiacetal reduction, and the final aminal bridge was forged by a one-pot reductive amination/cyclization. The conciseness of this approach was highlighted by building core bonds in each step with a minimalist protecting group strategy.
