The Erythrina alkaloids [1] have received considerable attention over the past few decades owing to their intriguing biological activity [2] and characteristic polycondensed structures, which provide an opportunity to develop a new ringforming methodology.[3] This family of alkaloids are classified into two groups according to their structural features: those whose D rings are aromatic, and those whose D rings contain an unsaturated lactone. Although a wide variety of methods have already been developed for the synthesis of the group containing an aromatic Dring,[1, 3] the synthesis of their counterparts with non-aromatic D rings is limited to that of (Æ)-cocculolidine by Kitahara and co-workers.[3p] Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of (+)-b-erythroidine (1), a non-aromatic dienoid-type Erythrina alkaloid isolated from several species of the Erythrina genus together with aerythroidine.[4, 5]Recently, we developed an efficient method [3j, 6] for the construction of the erythrinan skeleton which relies on ringclosing metathesis [7, 8] of a dienyne. On the basis of this methodology, we envisaged dienyne 2 as a precursor of 1 and postulated that this intermediate could be accessed from bketo ester 3, which would be available from 5 through 4 by N-alkylation followed by Dieckmann condensation (Scheme 1). In this synthetic plan, another key issue which must be addressed is the enantiocontrolled construction of ethynylated amino acid fragment 5, which contains a quaternary center.
