A concise route toward the syntheses of (-)-drupacine and (+)-and (-)-cephalotaxine has been developed. The syntheses rely on Pd (II)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative heterocyclization chemistry, which was employed to rapidly construct an important spirocyclic amine intermediate. A dynamic β-elimination/conjugate addition process was strategically applied to complete the first asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-drupacine.
