Abstract

The 3a-hydroxyhexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole-2-carboxylic acid (HPIC) residue and its aza-analogue are found in many bioactive natural products. In this account, short divergent total syntheses of several such natural products, diastereomers and analogues are described. It is demonstrated that by appropriate combination of different efficient tactics such as biomimetic/bio-inspired synthesis, chemo/regioselective reactions, umpolung of regioselectivity and/or reactivity, and tandem reactions, the enantioselective syntheses of polycyclic molecules such as (+)-asperlicin E and (–)-robustanoids A and B can be achieved in a protecting-group-free and redox-economical manner, in only three to four steps starting from l-tryptophan.
