Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Spirotryprostatin A.

In this paper, we disclosed a novel enantioselective total synthesis of spirotryprostatin A (1) in 15 steps with a 7.4% total yield from commercially available 2-iodo-5-methoxyaniline and γ-butyrolactone. The key step features of this synthesis include the copper-catalyzed cascade reaction of o-iodoaniline derivatives with alkynone to introduce the quaternary carbon stereocenter and an aza-Michael tandem reaction to construct the spiro[pyrrolidine-3,3'-oxindole] moiety.
