Abstract
We report the synthesis of the glucosidic indole alkaloid cadambine ( 5) in 48% yield from its biological precursor secologanin ( 1) in an intermolecular variant of the in vivo process where chemoselective and regioselective attack by tryptamine on a 3S-epoxide 11 yields the seven-membered azepine ring.
