Since DMAT (3) is biosynthesizedfrom L-tryptophan (4), commercially available L-tryptophan (4) might be a good starting material for the synthesis of optically active ergot alkaloids. Only limited success has been reported, however. 4 The chief obstacle has been the selective substitution at the Opposition of the indole ring. We wish to report the first total syntheses of the opticallyactive clavicipitic acids (la and lb). 5 The synthesis employs (S)-4-bromotryptophan (5) as a key intermediate and occurs via 4-(T, T-dimethyl-T-hydroxy-2-propenyl-
