The palhinine family of Lycopodium alkaloids were first reported in 2010, which feature an intriguing isotwistane carbon cage and a nine-membered azonane ring. It is noteworthy that the tetracyclic 5/6/6/9 skeleton was unprecedented in Lycopodium alkaloids before their seminal discovery. Over the past decade, extensive synthetic efforts stemming from seven research groups have resulted in two racemic total syntheses to date. This review article takes the opportunity to survey these efforts and achievements so as to promote further research towards the asymmetric total synthesis of palhinine alkaloids.

An efficient asymmetric total synthesis of naturally occurring γ-Z-butenolide cryptoconcatone I was achieved by employing substrate-directed reductive epoxide ring opening and late-stage “Pd–Cu” catalyzed cascade cyclization.

Total syntheses of stemoamide, 9a-epi-stemoamide, and 9a,10-epi-stemoamide by a convergent A + B ring-forming strategy is reported. The synthesis required a diastereoselective late-stage methylation of the ABC stemoamide core that successfully enabled access to three of the four possible diastereomeric structures. For the natural stemoamide series, the diastereoselectivity can be rationalized both by kinetic and thermodynamic arguments, whereas for the natural 9a-epi-stemoamide series, the kinetic selectivity is explained by the prepyramidalization of the relevant enolate.

The first asymmetric total syntheses of talienbisflavan A and bis-8,8′-epicatechinylmethane as well as a facile synthesis of bis-8,8′-catechinylmethane has been accomplished from readily available starting materials by using a newly developed direct regioselective methylenation of catechin derivatives as one of the key steps.

The natural nucleoside (+)-sinefungin, structurally similar to cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), inhibits various SAM-dependent methyltransferases (MTs). Access to sinefungin analogues could serve as the basis for the rational design of small-molecule methyltransferase inhibitors. We developed a route to the unnatural C9’ epimer of sinefungin that employed a diastereoselective Overman rearrangement to install the key C6’ amino stereocenter. The ability for late stage modification is highlighted, opening an avenue for the discovery of new MTs inhibitors.

Abstract Indole and its structural analogues have been frequently found in numerous alkaloids, pharmaceutical products and related materials. The enantioselective construction of these structures allows efficient total synthesis of optically pure indole alkaloids, and hence has received worldwide interest. In the past decade, asymmetric organocatalysis has been recognized as one of the most powerful strategies to create chiral molecules with high levels of stereoselectivity. In particular, organocatalytic asymmetric cascade reactions often occur with multiple bond-breaking and forming events simultaneously or sequentially, leading to the appearance of various straightforward approaches to access core structures for asymmetric total synthesis. This review will summarize recent applications of asymmetric organocatalysis in the enantioselective synthesis of indole alkaloids.
