A stereocontrolled formal synthesis of (−)-eburnamonine 1, a tetracyclic indole alkaloid used as antihypertensive drug, has been achieve through the use of [3, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangement (Claisen rearrangement) of the enantiopure β-alkoxy acrylate 4, available from rac-3-ethly-cyclohexenol 3via lipase-catalyzed transesterification
