Herein we present a new strategy for the dehydrogenative-decarboxylative coupling of indoles with glyoxylic acid. A broad range of indoles were transformed into the corresponding 3-formylindoles in moderate to good yields and excellent functional group tolerance. Notably, no N-formylation product was detected under our conditions.

We report here a concise, collective, and asymmetric total synthesis of sarpagine alkaloids and biogenetically related koumine alkaloids, which structurally feature a rigid cage scaffold, with L-tryptophan as the starting material. Two key bridged skeleton-forming reactions, namely tandem sequential oxidative cyclopropanol ring-opening cyclization and ketone α-allenylation, ensure concurrent assembly of the caged sarpagine scaffold and installation of requisite derivative handles. With a common caged intermediate as the branch point, by taking advantage of ketone and allene groups therein, total synthesis of five sarpagine alkaloids (affinisine, normacusine B, trinervine, Na-methyl-16-epipericyclivine, and vellosimine) with various substituents and three koumine alkaloids (koumine, koumimine, and N-demethylkoumine) with more complex cage scaffolds has been accomplished.

A general method for the synthesis of chiral pentacyclic spirooxindoles containing a tetrahydropyrano[2,3-b]indole scaffold through a one-pot stepwise sequence from 3-(3-indolomethyl)oxindole, paraformaldehyde and NCS is reported. Furthermore, the pentacyclic spirooxindoles could be transformed to bispirooxindole and other structurally diverse spirocyclic oxindoles.
