Abstract

Cephalotine A, a recently isolated Cephalotaxus alkaloid, was first synthesized enantioselectively through three critical reactions. SmI2 -mediated radical cyclization of lactone and aldehyde to forge the final ring system, Chang's iridium-catalyzed C-H amidation to construct pyrrolidone stereoselectively, and Carreria's dual Ir/amine catalyzed allylation to install the vicinal tertiary stereocenters.
