| Abstract | The tetracyclic indole alkaloid (−)-arboricine has been prepared using an asymmetric organocatalytic Pictet−Spengler reaction as the key step followed by a diastereoselective Pd-catalyzed iodoalkene/enolate cyclization. The absolute stereochemistry was unequivocally proven by X-ray crystallographic analysis and appeared to be opposite to the published structure in the original paper. |
