title: Biomimetic synthesis of tangutorine following new biogenetic proposals.
abstract: Following new biosynthetic proposals, an expeditious synthesis of tangutorine, an indolic alkaloid from Nitraria tangutorum has been achieved in three steps from simple C(5) lysine-derived units. The work also includes further insights into the biosynthesis of Nitraria alkaloids.
