Abstract

A convergent, nine-step (LLS), enantioselective synthesis of α-cyclopiazonic acid and related natural products is reported. The route features a)an enantioselective aziridination of an imine with a chiral sulfur ylide; b)a bioinspired (3+2)-cycloaddition of the aziridine onto an alkene; and c)installation of the acetyltetramic acid by an unprecedented tandem carbonylative lactamization/N-O cleavage of a bromoisoxazole.
