RESUMO
A synthetic route for the enantioselective construction of the tetracyclic spiro[indolizidine-1,3'-oxindole] framework present in a large number of oxindole alkaloids, with a cis H-3/H-15 stereochemistry, a functionalized two-carbon substituent at C-15, and an E-ethylidene substituent at C-20, is reported. The key steps of the synthesis are the generation of the tetracyclic spirooxindole ring system by stereoselective spirocyclization from a tryptophanol-derived oxazolopiperidone lactam, the removal of the hydroxymethyl group, and the stereoselective introduction of the E-ethylidene substituent by acetylation at the α-position of the lactam carbonyl, followed by hydride reduction and elimination. Following this route, the 21-oxo derivative of the enantiomer of the alkaloid 7(S)-geissoschizol oxindole has been prepared.

The synthesis of enantiopure ABCE and ABCD tetracyclic advanced intermediates en route to madangamine alkaloids and studies for the construction of the triunsaturated 15-membered D ring of madangamineâ B and the saturated 13-membered D ring of madangamineâ E are reported.
RESUMO
A three-step procedure for the enantioselective synthesis of spiro[indolizidine-1,3'-oxindoles], consisting of a stereoselective cyclocondensation reaction between (S)-tryptophanol and a prochiral or racemic δ-oxoester, bromination of the resulting oxazolopiperidone lactam, and a final stereoselective spirocyclization, is reported.
