Application of a diastereoselective three-component coupling to the bicyclic core of the batzelladine alkaloids is described. The synthesis features the elaboration of glutamic acid by use of Eschenmoser sulfide contraction. An earlier approach is also included, which shows some limitations of dithiane chemistry when applied to the particular compounds required for this target.
