Summary: The enantioselective total synthesis of three monoterpene indole alkaloids was successfully achieved by introducing chirality, using MOM ether as a protective group, and employing a domino reaction to construct the indole and piperidine rings. The synthesis confirmed the absolute configuration of these natural products according to the biogenetic hypothesis.

Summary: A bioinspired photo-Fries/imine capture cascade reaction was developed in continuous-flow mode for the rapid construction of a series of diversely functionalized 2,7-heterocycle-fused tetrahydrocarbazoles, which are core structures in strychnos and akuammiline-type monoterpene indole alkaloids. The synthetic utility of this novel method has been demonstrated through the total synthesis of (+)-alsmaphorazine C and formal synthesis of (+)-strictamine in a concise and efficient manner.

Summary: The unexpected discovery in a seemingly trivial reaction led to the selective formation of a new carbazole product. This reaction, by carefully varying substituents, revealed a complex cascade mechanism with at least 10 elementary steps that could be directed towards different carbazole derivatives.

Summary: We report a novel method for the synthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids through an intramolecular conjugate addition/Truce-Smiles/Elcb cascade reaction. This method was successfully applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of several natural products, demonstrating its potential for the synthesis of other compounds as well.

Summary: The total synthesis of (-)-strempeliopine involves a powerful SmI2-mediated and BF3 center dot OEt2-initiated dearomative transannular radical cyclization onto an indole, resulting in the formation of a quaternary center and the strategic C19-C2 bond in its core structure.

Summary: We synthesized highly strained pentacyclic caged framework of mavacuran alkaloids and successfully achieved the concise total synthesis of C-fluorocurine, C-profluorocurine, C-mavacurine, normavacurine, 16-epi-pleiocarpamine and taberdivarine H. A strategy involving late-stage Michael addition and intermolecular 1,4-addition reactions was designed. The first total syntheses of C-profluorocurine and C-fluorocurine were achieved through dihydroxylation of C-mavacurine and a pinacol rearrangement, respectively.

Summary: The first total synthesis of the monoterpene indole alkaloids ophiorrhine A is reported via a late stage bioinspired intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition. The synthesis includes the construction of the indolopyridone moiety, cyclodehydration, and the desired spontaneous intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition.

Summary: In this study, the first total syntheses of four trans-syn-fused drimane meroterpenoids were reported, achieved in 7-18 steps from sclareolide. The trans-syn-fused drimane unit was accessed through efficient acid-mediated epimerization of sclareolide, and subsequent enzymatic C-H oxidation and contemporary annulation methodologies were applied to rapidly generate structural complexity for concise access to these natural products.

Summary: A new sulfur-containing vobasane-type indole alkaloid, hemitheion (1), was isolated from the stems of Mostuea brunonis Didr. (Gelsemiaceae), along with three known compounds. Hemitheion (1) showed moderate antiplasmodial activity and no cytotoxic activity against a specific cell line.

Summary: A concise strategy for the total synthesis of several Aspidosperma alkaloids has been reported. The strategy involves a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and a Diels-Alder cascade reaction, leading to the synthesis of a common intermediate for Aspidosperma alkaloids. This intermediate has been successfully utilized for the synthesis of four different natural products.

Summary: The asymmetric total synthesis of vinorine, a complex cage-like alkaloid, has been achieved using a flexible approach. Key steps in this synthesis involve a rearrangement/cyclization reaction to form the functional 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane scaffold, a high yield indole annulation to create a common intermediate for sarpagine-ajamaline type alkaloids, and a rearrangement reaction to construct the C15-C20 bond.

Summary: An enantioselective total synthesis of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid (+)-alstonlarsine A (1) has been achieved, which possesses a unique pentacyclic skeleton and rare biological activity. The key step involves an efficient domino sequence, consisting of enamine formation followed by an inverse-electron-demand intramolecular dearomative Diels-Alder cycloaddition for the construction of a 9-azatricyclo[4.3.1.0(3,8)]decane core. This strategy offers a new general entry into other tricyclic frameworks with fused indole ring and 6-, 7-, or 8-membered rings.
