Abstract
An enantioselective synthesis of the indolizidine alkaloid (-)-slaframine from aldehyde 1 is reported. The stereogenic centers at C-1 and C-8a are introduced by an enantioselective allyltitanation and a Mitsunobu reaction. Reductive double cyclization of the acyclic compound (-)-10 affords the bicyclic skeleton of (-)-slaframine.
Key words
allyl complexes - titanium - Mitsunobu reaction - indolizidine - slaframine

The direct hydroboration of alcohol (+)-2 without silylation of the homoallylic alcohol function (BH3·THF then H2O2, NaOH) led to the formation of 5 and 5′ with an overall yield of 50% and a 60/40 ratio of 5/5′. See ref. [18]
20Compound (+)-11′ was synthesized according to a strategy similar to the one used for obtaining (+)-11 However the deprotection of the PMP group by using CAN produced the decomposition of 11′.
