A new approach to total syntheses of piperidine alkaloids (+)-241D, isosolenopsin and isosolenopsin A has been developed from D-alanine. The key step to access the chiral pyridinone intermediate was achieved via a gold mediated cyclization. Finally, various reduction conditions afforded the natural products in few steps and good overall yields.
