title: Concise total synthesis and stereochemical revision of all (-)-trigonoliimines.
abstract: The concise and enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-trigonoliimines A, B, and C are described. Our unified strategy to all three natural products is based on asymmetric oxidation and reorganization of a single bistryptamine, a sequence of transformations with possible biogenetic relevance. We revise the absolute stereochemistry of (-)-trigonoliimines A, B, and C.
