Abstract
The divergent total syntheses of cernuane-type and quinolizidine-type Lycopodium alkaloids are described. A common intermediate 5 for the two types of alkaloids was assembled practically from (+)-citronellal via organocatalytic α-amination, followed by the construction of oxazolidinone that was used for diastereoselective allylation. Key compound 5 was converted into cermizine C ( 3), and this in turn was converted into senepodine G ( 4) by the regioselective Polonovsky–Potier reaction. The total synthesis of representative cernuane-type alkaloids, (−)-cernuine ( 1) as well as (+)-cermizine D ( 2), was also accomplished from 5 by utilizing asymmetric transfer aminoallylation as a key step.
