bioactive indole alkaloids, exemplified by ajmalicine (161) and deplancheine (204).
[Illustration omitted.]
Building on earlier work from our research group we recognised that a suitably
substituted bicyclic lactam (266) could act as a precursor in an intramolecular
N-acyliminium mediated cyclisation leading to targets such as (219).
[Illustration omitted.]
Methodology has been developed to remove the chiral auxiliary group. Manipulation of
the template (219) has allowed us to achieve a novel total synthesis of deplancheine (208)
and provided valuable insight for a future asymmetric synthesis of (204).
