Herein we report the first enantioselective total syntheses of pentacyclic homoproaporphine alkaloids by means of a route, which includes a tandem retro-oxa-Michael addition and nucleophilic substitution to generate the oxa-benzobicyclco[3.3.1]nonane core structure, a Pictet-Spengler cyclization to construct the fused B and C rings, and sequential Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and pinacol-type cyclization to install the hydroxyl-lactol moiety of D ring. With this unified route, six pentacyclic homoproaporphine alkaloids have been synthesized enantioselectively.
