Abstract Synergistic catalysis: Three indole alkaloids (−)-corynantheidine, (+)-corynantheine and (+)-dihydro-corynantheine were prepared following a short and common strategy based on the binol phosphoric acid catalyzed enantioselective Pictet-Spengler reaction, followed by closure of the final ring by an intramolecular Tsuji-Trost-type Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation by using an α-ketoester-derived enolate as the nucleophile (see scheme).
