	abstract = {<p>Starting from Boc-protected tryptamine and (S)-tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-furancarboxylic acid, facile enantioselective total synthesis of desbromoarborescidines A-C and the formal synthesis of (S)-deplancheine have been accomplished via a common intermediate (S)-indolo[2,3-a]quinolizine. Synthesis of enantiomerically pure (S)-acetoxyglutarimide, stereoselective reductive intramolecular cyclization, hydroxyl group assisted in situ N-Boc-deprotection, selective deoxygenation, of the xanthate ester, and lactam hydrolysis followed by an appropriate exchange of nitrogen regioselectivity in intramolecular cyclization were the decisive steps.</p>},
