Abstract
The three-component Povarov reaction is efficiently utilized for construction of the pentacyclic framework of complex Melodinus alkaloids, which is amenable to expansion to other complex natural products. The key steps were Povarov reaction, one-pot reductive cyclization, and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction.
