Novel total syntheses of (±)-yohimbine and (±)-alloyohimbine

Abstract

The total synthesis of two alkaloids, (±)-yohimbine (1a) and (±)-alloyohimbine (1b) was completed by the regioselective functionalisation of 18,19-didehydroyohimbones (3a and b) which were readily prepared from harmalane by enamide reductive photocyclisation.
