Abstract
The stereochemical outcome of the conjugate addition reactions of 2-acetylindole enolates to unsaturated phenylglycinol-derived oxazolopiperidone lactams 1a-f is studied. After reduction of the 2-acylindole carbonyl group, the Michael adduct cis-6 underwent a Lewis acid-promoted intramolecular α-amidoalkylation, enantioselectively leading to the tetracyclic ring system of the indole alkaloid ervitsine Keywords: Lactams / Asymmetric synthesis / Cyclization / Michael addition / Heterocycles
