Abstrakt: An efficient new alkyne-acetal cyclization procedure has been developed to prepare enantiopure indolizidine building blocks from l-proline and then applied to prepare the Elaeocarpus-derived alkaloids grandisine B and grandisine D in an efficient manner. However, evidence is presented which indicates that grandisine B does not occur naturally but is formed by reaction of grandisine D with ammonia during the extraction/purification process.
