It is reported herein that by exploiting the commonly shared bicyclic decahydroquinoline motif, a gold-catalyzed enamide-alkyne cycloisomerization reaction is developed to access tricyclic cores in a simple way. These tricyclic cores further serve as an advanced platform for the divergent enantioselective collective total syntheses of five Lycopodium alkaloids, belonging to three different structural types, in a concise and protecting-group-free fashion. The key transformations in the second phase include: 1) a transannular reductive Heck cyclization for installation of the azepane ring in fawcettidine, fawcettimine, and lycoposerramine Q; 2) a domino Mukaiyama hydration/Grob fragmentation process for construction of the ten-membered lactam system in phlegmariurine B; 3) a Fukuyama one-pot protocol for the construction of the 2-pyridone motif in lycoposerramine R. The newly developed strategy is expected to pave the way for the synthesis of other structurally related Lycopodium alkaloids.

Huperzia serrata, belonging to the Lycopodiaceae family, has been traditionally utilized for the management of treating rheumatic numbness, arthritic pain, dysmenorrhea, and contusions. This plant is a rich source of lycopodium alkaloids, some of which have demonstrated notable cholinesterase inhibitory activity. The objective of this study was to identify lycopodium alkaloids with cholinesterase inhibitory properties from H.

Lannotinidine G is a unique Lycopodium alkaloid that features a tricyclic [6/6/6] core with 3 contiguous stereocenters and a 1,3-diene moiety in addition to a 7-membered lactone. Herein, we disclose our efforts toward the synthesis of this natural product, which achieved the construction of the aza-tricyclic core with the correct configuration at its three stereocenters. Key features of our strategy include a highly diastereoselective Fráter-Seebach alkylation and Corey-Chaykovsky type epoxide formation, an unusual aziridinium-mediated ring contraction for the formation of the piperidine moiety, and a regioselective dienyne metathesis.
