Careful choice of the N-protecting group provides crucial conformational control, allowing ring-closure to the indole 3-position in the late stages of the synthesis of ajmaline alkaloids; the choice of protecting group and reducing agent can also provide access to either the natural or epi configuration at the indole 2-position.
A total asymmetric synthesis of (-)-suaveoline
Bailey, Patrick D.,Morgan, Keith M.
, p. 1479 - 1480 (2007/10/03)
A new total synthesis of (-)-suaveoline from L-tryptophan is reported (overall yield ca. 14%); key steps include a high yielding cis-specific Pictet-Spengler reaction, a one-pot Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons/alkylation procedure, a vinylogous Thorpe cyclization
