## Abstract Racemic eburnamonine (**1**) was synthesized __via__ **6**, an intermediate possessing local symmetry. Cleavage of the cyclopentene subunit led to pentacyclic aldehydes **8a**/**8b** which on subsequent borohydride and __WolffβKishner__ reductions gave **12**. The final steps included a

β¦ Synopsis
Eburnamomne
(1) and eburnamlne (;?) are pentacycllc lndole alkaloids Isolated from Hunterza ebxrnea Plchon (Apocyanaceae) ' Eburnamomne is useful as a cerebrovsscular agent,2 and therefore, is of interest with respect to efficient total synthesis ' Herein, we descnbe a reglospeciflc alkylation of the tncycllc lactam 3' which facl lltates construction of dZ-eburnamonlne and dZ-eburnamlne in overall yields of 67% and 53% respectively
