Abstract

AbstractThe first total syntheses of the stemona alkaloids bisdehydroneostemoninine and bisdehydrostemoninine in racemic forms have been achieved. The synthetic strategy features a novel palladium‐catalyzed carbonylative spirolactonization of a hydroxycyclopropanol to rapidly construct the oxaspirolactone moiety. It also features a Lewis acid promoted tandem Friedel–Crafts cyclization and lactonization to form the 5‐7‐5 tricyclic core of the target stemona alkaloids.
