title: An asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of the indole alkaloid deplancheine.
abstract: We report a novel, facile and asymmetric approach to both enantiomers of the indole alkaloid deplancheine from a readily available, nonracemic chiral template. The natural product and its antipode are isolated with >95% ee.
