Short-step synthesis of the ergot alkaloids, (.+-.)-norchanoclavine-I, (.+-.)-chanoclavine-I, (.+-.)-isochanoclavine-I, and (.+-.)-agroclavine.

Abstract
The simple total synthesis of the ergot alkaloids, (±)-norchanoclavine-I, (±)-chanoclavine-I, (±)-isochanoclavine-I, and (±)-agroclavine was achieved by a practical and common synthesis method. A new regio-selective oxidation of the Z-methyl group of the isoprenyl system with selenium dioxide is described
