Abstract

route affording anhydrovinblastine (4), and vinblastine (3) from vindoline (lb) and catharanthine Nb-oxide (2b), by a fragmentation induced by the modified Polonovski reaction,'increased the interest in the total syntheses of these alkaloids. We wish to disclose in the present paper a new efficient synthesis leading to vindorosine (11- desmethoxyvindoline)(la) and vindoline (lb) by a route following a" retrobiomimetic" ...
