Macrolines constitute a class of natural products that has more than 100 members and displays diverse biological activities. These compounds feature a cycloocta[b]indole scaffold that represents an interesting target structure for biology-oriented synthesis (BIOS). We have presented a solid-phase synthesis of isomerically pure cycloocta[b]indoles by employing the Pictet-Spengler reaction and the Dieckmann cyclization as key steps. The scope of this reaction sequence was investigated in more detail by using various additional diversification procedures, such as Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira or Suzuki couplings on a solid phase, thus allowing, for example, the generation of 10-substituted cycloocta-[b]indole derivatives. Finally, solution-phase decoration of the cycloocta[b]indole skeleton by reduction and saponification was evaluated, thereby further extending the scope of the solid-phase synthesis.

The enantiospecific total synthesis of talpinine 1 and talcarpine 2 has been accomplished from D-(+)-tryptophan in 13 steps (11 reaction vessels) in 10% and 9.5% overall yields, respectively. Moreover, this synthetic approach has been employed for the improved synthesis of alstonerine 3 and anhydromacrosalhine-methine 4 in 12% and 14% overall yield, respectively. A convenient synthetic route for the enantiospecific, stereospecific preparation of the key intermediate (-)-Na-H, Nb-benzyl tetracyclic ketone 15a via the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction on a multihundredgram scale has been developed. A diastereocontrolled (>30:1) anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement and the intramolecular rearrangement to form ring-E and an Nb-benzyl/Nb-methyl transfer reaction also served as key steps. This general approach can now be utilized for the synthesis of macroline/ sarpagine related indole alkaloids and their antipodes for biological screening.

Norsuaveoline la has been synthesized enantiospecifically in 28% overall yield from commercially available D-(+)-tryptophan methyl ester via the asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction and a stereocontrolled oxy-anion Cope rearrangement as key steps.
