Popis: A full account of the highly stereoselective total synthesis of two indole alkaloids, suaveoline ( 4 ) and norsuaveoline ( 5 ), is presented. Central features of the synthetic strategy include the conversion of l -tryptophan methyl ester ( 12 ) into the oxazole derivative 11 and the intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction of the oxazole–olefin 19 leading to the pentacyclic pyridine derivative 21 .
