Abstract

A new hexacyclic iboga-type indole alkaloid, voacangalactone (1), was isolated from Voacanga africana, and its structure including the absolute configuration was established by asymmetric total synthesis involving such key steps as the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction using an aminodiene and the construction of an isoquinuclidine ring and an indole skeleton. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
