Synthesis of (±)-Indolizidine 209B and a New 209B Diastereoisomer

Abstract
Eight-step syntheses of the frog skin toxin (±)-indolizidine 109B (1) and its hitherto unknown (5R*,8S*,9S*) diastereoisomer (14) via vinylogous urethane intermediates are described. Control of the relative stereochemistry is achieved by alternative stereoselective reductions of a common intermediate, the bicyclic vinylogous urethane 9.
