Abstract
AbstractThe Aspidosperma alkaloids leuconoxine, melodinine E, and mersicarpine were synthesized. The approach features a key cascade radical reaction. A 1,5‐hydrogen atom transfer is followed by spontaneous 5‐exo‐trig cyclization to construct the central indoline architecture. Late‐stage differentiation of the radical cyclization product by chemoselective oxidation allows production of either the leuconoxine/melodinine E or mersicarpine structure.
