Chamobtusin A, a unique diterpene alkaloid isolated from Chamaecyparis obtusa cv. tetragon, is considered to be biosynthesized from an abietane diterpenoid. On the basis of this biosynthetic hypothesis, ferruginol (15) was synthesized from (+)-dehydroabietylamine and then biomimetically transformed into (-)-chamobtusin A in 6 steps (12 steps from (+)-dehydroabietylamine).

The first asymmetric total synthesis of a structurally unique alkaloid, chamobtusin A (1), is described. The route features a novel aziridine formation from the 1,2-oxazine derivative and a palladium-mediated annulation of the vinylaziridine intermediate.

The total synthesis of chamobtusin A, the first diterpenoid alkaloid isolated from the whole Pinales, is described. Key features of the synthesis include a stereoselective intramolecular Michael addition to install a key stereocenter and an oxidative manipulation to prepare a 2H-pyrrole ring.

A total synthesis of (±)-chamobtusin A has been accomplished on the basis of our presumed biosynthetic pathway: the imine formation of keto aldehyde followed by intramolecular aza-Michael addition.
