A novel and efficient approach toward the assembly of the synthetically challenging tetracyclic [6,5,7,5] core structure of calyciphylline A-type alkaloids is developed. The synthetic route features a tandem semipinacol rearrangement/Nicholas reaction that has been devised strategically to construct the spirocyclic A/B ring and the sterically congested vicinal all-carbon quaternary carbon centers in high diastereoselectivity. Late-stage installation of the hydropyrrole ring and the strained 7-membered ring via a double-reductive amination and ring-closing metathesis, respectively, has also been realized.
