Abstract

The development of an asymmetric and highly convergent three-component synthesis of the functionalized ABC ring system of the Aspidosperma alkaloid jerantinine E is reported. The presented synthetic strategy relies on our recently developed method for the one-pot beta-C-H bromination of enones, which allows for rapid construction of the tricyclic tetrahydrocarbazolone core via a palladium-catalyzed amination and oxidative indole formation. Moreover, a secondary amine building block that contains all carbon atoms of the D and E ring of the natural product could be installed in three additional steps.
