Significance

Snyder and co-workers reported the asymmetric total synthesis of (–)-chilocorine C, a defensive alkaloid isolated from ladybugs. Key to the synthesis was a reductive cyclization/Mannich cascade.


Comment

Advanced intermediate G, prepared by a [3+2] cycloaddition, is rapidly converted into I containing the tricyclic core of the natural product. Hofmann rearrangement followed by oxidation and aldol condensation leads to O, which is transformed into the natural product in two steps.
