Abstract
A stereocontrolled synthesis of (+/-)-geissoschizine, involving the ad dition of the enolate derived from 1-acetylindole to pyridinium salt 2 , cyclization of the resultant 1,4-dihydropyridine stereoselective ela boration of the E-ethylidene substituent, closure of C ring by Pummere r reaction, and methanolysis of the resulting pentacyclic lactam, is r eported.
