A concise total synthesis of (±)-mesembrine has been successfully accomplished in seven steps and 24% overall yield from commercially available 3-ethoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one. Central to the assembly of the skeleton of mesembrine are a Johnson–Claisen rearrangement for the formation of the benzylic quaternary stereocenter and direct allylic oxidation to generate the substrate for the amidation/transannular aza-conjugate addition reaction.

AbstractThe enantioselective total synthesis of the alkaloid aristoquinoline has been achieved in seven steps and 26% overall yield. A new preparation of the useful synthetic building block (–)-α-terpinyl amine was also developed in order to avoid stoichiometric mercury reagents or azide-containing intermediates. Key steps in the optimized synthetic route include an intramolecular nitrilium ion cyclization to form the characteristic azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ring system and a dia­stereoselective reduction of the resulting imine mixture to afford the natural product. An isomer of aristoquinoline containing an exocyclic alkene was also obtained and found to exhibit unusual chromatographic and spectroscopic properties.
