The irradiation, by visible light, of (+)-catharanthine 1 and of (−)-16-O-acetylvindoline 5 in the presence of cyanide ion and a catalytic amount of a photosensitizer known to produce singlet oxygen leads to (+)-3β-cyanocatharanthine 3 and the new (−)-16-O-acetyl-3α-cyanovindoline 6. The complete stereostructural identification of these compounds has been ascertained by an accurate spectroscopic survey. High regio- and diastereoselectivities (de > 99%) are observed. Some experiments have been performed which confirm unambiguously that singlet oxygen is the oxidizing species in such photochemical conditions.
