✦ Synopsis


The title total synthesis was achieved by a method featuring highly stereoselective intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction of the tetrahydroisobenzofuran 5 with the chiral butenolide 6 as the key step. The cycloadduct 4 was converted to the title alkaloid by way of the known sulfone 2 in 17 steps.
