Total syntheses of indoloquinolizidine alkaloid (±)-, R-(+)-, and S-(−)-deplancheine are described here. The synthesis features an enantioselective intramolecular formal aza-[3+ 3] cycloaddition for the construction of the quinolizidine CD-ring. This application serves to introduce a new synthetic strategy for the synthesis of indoloquinolizidine alkaloids.
