Abstract
Formal total synthesis of isodelphinine (1) was achieved. Isodelphonine (3), an alkamine of (1), was synthesized from chasmanine (2), the key intermediates being olefines (8), (13), 15-β-alcohols (10), (14) and 15-ketones (11), (15). And then isodelphonine (3) was converted to isodelphinine (1) by the selective O-acylations.
