The asymmetric synthesis of 16, 17, 20-epi-deserpidine and a derivative of (-)-deserpidine has been achieved. Key features in the assembly of the pentacyclic framework include a visible-light photocatalytic intra-/inter-/intramolecular radical cascade reaction to construct the tetracyclic ABCD ring system in one-pot and an intramolecularaldol reaction to forge the cyclohexane E ring.
