Collective Total Synthesis of Mavacuran Alkaloids through Intermolecular 1,4‐Addition of an Organolithium Reagent **

Abstract: We report a synthetic endeavor towards the highly strained pentacyclic caged framework of the mavacuran alkaloids which culminated with the concise total synthesis of C‐fluorocurine, C‐profluorocurine, C‐mavacurine, normavacurine, 16‐epi‐pleiocarpamine and taberdivarine H. We designed a strategy involving late‐stage construction of the D ring by Michael addition of a vinylic nucleophile to a 2‐indolyl acrylate moiety. While the intramolecular Michael addition did not succeed, we were able to perform a diastereoselective unusual intermolecular 1,4‐addition of a functionalized vinyl lithium reagent to a readily accessible Michael acceptor with the assistance of the piperidine nitrogen atom through the formation of a complex as suggested by DFT computations. Final cyclization was achieved by nucleophilic substitution to form an ammonium intermediate. The first total syntheses of C‐profluorocurine and C‐fluorocurine were finalized by the dihydroxylation of C‐mavacurine and a pinacol rearrangement, respectively.
