A Desymmetrization-Based Total Synthesis of Reserpine

Reported herein is a desymmetrization-based synthetic approach to the fused polycyclic indole alkaloid reserpine. The centerpiece of the developed strategy features an internal desymmetrization process that enabled the use of a readily accessible and nonstereogenic reserpine E-ring precursor, in contrast to the synthesis-intensive and stereodefined E-ring intermediates employed in all past reserpine syntheses. Utilization of inexpensive reagents through an orchestrated sequence of carefully selected chemical transformations further highlight the overall effectiveness of the developed pathway.
