The first synthesis of natural (+)-catharanthine (1) has been achieved in a few steps and in ca. 20 percent overall yield based on indole-3-acetic acid.The isomeric (+/-)-allocatharanthine was also prepared.
Stereocontrolled total synthesis of (±)-catharanthine via radical-mediated indole formation

(matrix presented) A stereocontrolled total synthesis of (±)-catharanthine, 1, has been completed. The key step involves the radical-mediated cyclization of a highly functionalized intermediate to furnish the corresponding indole. The cyclization utilizes
