Although the molecular structural motif of indole-fused azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane is common in biologically significant natural products, its catalytic asymmetric synthesis remains underexplored. Herein, we report a catalytic approach for the formal synthesis of more than 20 types of sarpagine/macroline alkaloids. Two key steps are the amide insertion reaction using a metal-carbene species based on cheap copper and biocatalytic asymmetric desymmetrization, producing the desired chiralN-bridged [3.3.1] scaffold. The enzymatic step proceeds highly enantioselectively when using lipase fromCandida rugosa, which turned out to be the best for breaking the symmetry. Late-stage introduction of an indole unit with functionalities then established a diversity-oriented synthetic pathway toward indole terpenoid variants.
