✦ Synopsis
A stereocontrolled synthesis of (-+)-geissoschizine, involving the addition of the enolate derived from l-acetylindole to pyridinium salt 2, cyclization of the resultant 1,4-dihydropyridine, stereoselective elaboration of the E-ethylidene substituent, closure of C ring by Pummerer reaction, and methanolysis of the resulting pentacyclic lactam, is reported.

The 70 eV mass spectra of (3u) and (36) contain as fragments of highest mass number [M-C6Ho -CO] +. The molecular ions can be observed in the F-D spectrum (Varian 31 1 A). We thank Dr. K. K. Mayer and F. Fischer for recording the spectra.
A short synthetic route to (+)-geissoschizine (1) was developed that features the construction of a Corynanthe-skeleton via radical cyclization of vinyl iodide, which was easily prepared by assembly of three fragments. New pentacyclic molecules formed by the radical cyclization were also reported.
