Abstract
The enantioselective total synthesis of the potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitors schulzeine A, B, and C and a revision of the proposed C20' configuration of schulzeine A are reported. The central feature of our convergent route to this family of novel marine natural products is the preparation of the common benzo[a]quinolizidine subunit through a substrate-controlled, diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler cyclocondensation.Entities:
