Abstract

A stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-lysergic acid (1) is achieved using three metal-catalyzed methodologies for the construction of three key rings. Highlights of the synthesis include Pd-catalyzed indole synthesis to form the B ring, a RCM reaction to form the D ring, and an intramolecular Heck reaction to form the C ring.
