Abstract
This article describes in detail the first total synthesis of grandisine alkaloids, grandisines B, D, and F, which show affinity for the human delta-opioid receptor. The key steps in this synthesis are construction of the isoquinuclidinone moiety of 2 by intramolecular imine formation and the tetracyclic ring system of 4 by stereoselective ring closure of the enolate of amine 8 generated by 1,4-addition of ammonia to 9. Synthesis of key intermediate 9 featured a highly stereoselective Brønsted acid mediated Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction via the N-acyl iminium ion.
