Spokewise Total Syntheses of Four Erythrina Alkaloids and Telescoped Syntheses of Six Additional Alkaloids

Based on rich sulfur-involving chemical transformations, a novel spokewise synthetic strategy, a subclass of the collective strategies, has been developed to concisely synthesize four erythrina alkaloids through a single-step transformation from a common synthetic precursor. Moreover, six additional erythrina alkaloids have also been synthesized by subsequent 1-2 steps chemical transformations. The current synthetic approaches provide a valuable platform for collective total syntheses of erythrina alkaloids and
