AbstractNatural Vincamine (1) has been synthesized in an enantioselective manner starting from the ethylpentenal7. In the key step a mixture of the diastereoisomeric racemates,14and15, was directly obtained from the silyl enol ether11and the dihydro‐β‐carboline12by the way of an intramolecularMannichreaction of the intermediate13(Scheme 4). The undesired stereoisomers,14and15b, were recycled to15ausing the related reversibleMannichreaction18 ⇄ 14 + 15, followed by crystallization of the salt from15aand (+)malic acid.15awas converted to natural vincamine (1) in several steps including the known transformation20→1.
