This review presents the chemistry of mavacuranes, a subfamily of the monoterpene indole alkaloids, from their isolation, biosynthesis, total synthesis to their tendency to assemble with other partners to form intricate bis-indole alkaloids.

We report the enantioselective total syntheses of mavacurans alkaloids, (+)-taberdivarine H, (+)-16-hydoxymethyl-pleiocarpamine, (+)-16-epi-pleiocarpamine, and their postulated biosynthetic precursor 16-formyl-pleiocarpamine. This family of monoterpene indole alkaloids is a target of choice since some of its members are subunits of intricate bisindole alkaloids such as bipleiophylline. Inspired by the biosynthetic hypothesis, we explored an oxidative coupling approach from the geissoschizine framework to form the N1-C16 bond. Quaternization of the aliphatic nitrogen was key to achieve the oxidative coupling induced by KHMDS/I<sub>2 </sub>since<sub> </sub>it hides the nucleophilicity of the aliphatic nitrogen and locks the required cis conformation.

<p>The spiroindimicins are a unique class of chlorinated indole alkaloids characterized by three heteroaromatic rings structured around a congested spirocyclic stereocenter. Here, we report the first total synthesis of (+)-spiroindimicin A, which bears a challenging C-3’/C-5’’-linked spiroindolenine. We detail our initial efforts to effect a biomimetic oxidative spirocyclization from its proposed natural precursor, lynamicin D, and describe how these studies shaped our final abiotic 9-step solution to this complex alkaloid built around a key asymmetric Pd-catalyzed spirocyclization. Scalable access to spiroindimicins A, H, and their congeners has enabled discovery of their activity against several parasites relevant to human health, providing potential starting points for new therapeutics for the neglected tropical diseases leishmaniasis and African sleeping sickness.</p>

AbstractIn this account, recent progress on the synthetic studies of several monoterpene indole alkaloids, (±)-mersicarpine, misassigned (±)-tronoharine, and (±)-leuconodines D and E, is summarized. Specifically, the rationale for the design and development of the Lewis acid catalyzed SN1-type substitution and formal [3+3] cycloaddition reaction of indol-2-yl carbinols, and the Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidative intramolecular Heck cross-coupling of indolyl amides tethered with a terminal olefin functionality, are emphasized. These key reactions set the basis for the rapid construction of the fused ring skeleton containing an all-carbon quaternary center at the indol-2-yl position.1 Introduction2 Synthetic Study of (±)-Mersicarpine3 Synthetic Study of the Misassigned (±)-Tronoharine4 Study of the Asymmetric Reaction of Indol-2-yl Carbinols5 Synthetic Study of (±)-Leuconodines D and E6 Conclusion

Indole-fused tetracyclic ring systems containing nitrogen atoms are common core skeletons of many indole alkaloids such as sarpagine, macroline, and ajmaline. Efficient and stereoselective construction of these ring systems can promote the development of the corresponding alkaloid syntheses. In this article, we briefly summarize our current progress toward the application of the aza-Achmatowicz reaction and indole nucleophilic addition reaction cascade for the first asymmetric total synthesis of the macroline-type indole alkaloid (–)-Alstofolinine A. Our synthetic strategy is based on furan oxidation/rearrangement and proceeds from easily accessible materials such as indole and furan derivatives.
