A short and general approach to the cis-3a-aryloctahydroindole alkaloids has been developed on the basis of a key stereocontrolled ZnBr(2)-catalyzed rearrangement of 2,3-aziridino alcohols. Two representative members, (+/-)-crinane and (+/-)-mesembrine, have been synthesized in 15% and 11% overall yields, respectively. [reaction: see text]

A straightforward and unified strategy to access Amaryllidaceae alkaloids comprising a cis-3a-aryloctahydroindole scaffold has been developed. The strategy features Eschenmoser-Claisen rearrangement of allylalcohol as a key step for the installation of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters present in these alkaloids. The consequent iodolactonization-reduction-oxidation sequence beautifully assembles the advanced intermediate keto-aldehyde 10a, b in synthetically viable yields.

The synthesis of (+)-mesembrine (1) and (+)-mesembranol (2) has been achieved from the monoterpene (S)-(-)-perillyl alcohol. Key transformations include a diastereo- and regioselective Pd-mediated intramolecular Heck reaction, and a double reduction of the resultant cyclic sulfonamide, to afford the cis-3a-aryloctahydroindole skeleton.

A general and efficient approach to both 7-aryloctahydroindole and cis-3a-aryloctahydroindole alkaloids has been developed. The key step involves Michael additions of the corresponding kinetics and thermodynamics lithium enolates of ketone 9 to the versatile building blocks: nitroethylene 10. Two representative members, (+/-)-gamma-lycorane and (+/-)-crinane, have been synthesized in 22 and 36% overall yields, respectively.
