Synthesis of Atisine, Ajaconine, Denudatine, and Hetidine Diterpenoid Alkaloids by a Bioinspired Approach

Authors:

Abstract
A unified approach to four different (atisine, ajaconine, denudatine, and hetidine) diterpenoid alkaloid skeletons was developed and applied to the total synthesis of the natural products dihydroajaconine (2, atisine type) and gymnandine (4, denudatine type). The synthesis features a biogenetically inspired strategy that relies on C−H oxidation, aza‐pinacol coupling, and aza‐Prins cyclization as key steps.
