This first part of a planned review on developments in the field of total and formal total synthesis of the post-secodine indole alkaloids concentrates on primary alkaloid types. It reviews the synthesis of secodine, aspidospermane, pseudoaspidospermane and ibogane alkaloids; andranginine is also included. It covers the literature from 1992-1993 up to approximately May 2004. A review with 179 references.

Lapidilectine B

The second part of the planned review on developments in the field of total and formal total synthesis of the post-secodine indole alkaloids concentrates on modified alkaloid types, i.e. those skeletons derived from primary types by formation of additional and/or rupture of existing bonds, while connectivities next to indol(e)ine moiety remain intact. It thus reviews the synthesis of alkaloids of quebrachamine/cleavamine type including VLB-bis-indoles, rhazinilam type, aspidofractinine/kopsane and kopsifoline type, as well as kopsijasminilam alkaloids, lapidilectine B and danuphylline. It covers the literature of from 1991-1992 up to approximately end 2006. A review with 174 references.

The third part of a planned review on developments in the field of total and formal total synthesis of the post-secodine indole alkaloids focuses on types of rearranged alkaloids, i.e. on the skeletons with altered connectivities next to the indol(e)ine moiety, especially with a new bond to N-1. It reviews the synthesis of melodane, goniomitine, chippiine/dippinine, lirofoline and tronocarpine alkaloids, as well as alkaloids of secoschizozygane/vallesamidine, schizozygane and isoschizozygane type. It covers the literature from approximately 1991 up to May 2011. A review with 115 references.

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.

Coupling Approach

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>
