Abstract

A concise total synthesis of (±)-stepharine and (±)-pronuciferine using readily available reagents as the starting materials is reported. This synthesis features a three-component Catellani reaction/Au-catalyzed 6-exo-dig cyclization for the assembly of 1-methylene-tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold and an oxidative dearomatization for constructing spiro-cyclohexadienone scaffold.

Key words

stepharine - pronuciferine - 1-methylene-tetrahydroisoquinoline - Catellani reaction - total synthesis
