The invention is a de novo synthesis of the norcatharanthine moiety of navelbine. The synthesis includes condensing a Grignard reagent prepared from an amine-protected R(+)-piperidinyl methanol with an N-protected 2-methoxyoxalyl indole. The indole N-protecting group is removed to provide a 2-methoxyindole hydroxy ester which is coupled to vindoline. After removal of the amineprotecting group from the piperidinyl group, ring closure to the indole moiety provides dihydrodesethyl navelbine. Other derivatives and analogs of navelbine with potential clinical applications in cancer chemotherapy may be readily synthesized. The synthesis opens a route to a wide variety of navelbine modifications, including modifications at or near the tryptamine bridge.
