A concise diastereotioselective strategy for the synthesis of noscapine, bicuculiine, and egenine (1a-c), as well as capnoidine and corytensine (2a,b), was developed using diastereoselective addition of 1-siloxy-isobenzofurans 4a and 4b to immium ion 5 in a one-pot approach. The synthesis features the use of imine 13 obtained through Bischler-Napieralsky reaction from airline 11. The addition of ionic liquids as addictives in the reactions afforded erythro configuration in major adduct compounds. The synthetic route can also be applied in the total synthesis of promising tubulin binding agent EM105 (3). (C) 2010 Elseviet Ltd. All rights reserved.
