Starting from CBz-protected glutamic anhydride and Boc-protected o-aminobenzyl amine, the first total synthesis of proposed structure of auranthine has been reported. An intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction involving a lactam carbonyl group that delivered the diazepine core unit was the key step in the synthesis.

Starting from tryptamine and methoxymaleic anhydride, concise and efficient total synthesis of cordatanine has been accomplished via regioselective reduction of methoxymaleimide, acid-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of the formed lactamol, in situ stepwise oxidations leading to aromatization, and intramolecular cyclization with the exchange of N-regioselectivity. An attempted synthesis of regioisomeric natural product zanthochilone has been described in brief with reversal of reduction selectivity.\

Banistenosides A and B possessing a unique {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}azepino(1,2-a)tetrahydro-beta-carboline{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} carbon framework were isolated from the stem of Banisteriopsis caapi and showed MAO-A inhibition. Herein, we report the total synthesis of dibenzyl derivative of the untouched natural product in the last two decades, Banistenoside B. The key steps involve construction of 6.5.6.7 tetracyclic core using Pictet-Spengler reaction and intramolecular amide coupling. The stereoselective glycation was achieved through Hotha{\textquoteright}s protocol using gold catalyst, and silver triflate in the late stage of synthesis. The stereochemistry of most of the essential compounds were confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
