N-Methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate (7), the major indole alkaloid in the blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) Hapalosiphon welwitschii W. & G. S. West UH IC-52-3 and Westiella intricata Borzi UH HT-29-1 (Stigonemataceae), is responsible for some of the multiple-drug-resistance (MDR) reversing activity in H welwitschii and most of the insecticidal activity in W. intricata. The oxindole was isolated from the lipophilic extracts of the two cyanophytes and its structure and absolute stereochemistry determined by X-ray crystallography. Fourteen additional alkaloids were isolated from H. welwitschii as minor constituents, viz. a novel spiro oxindole, welwitindolinone A isonitrile (1), five tetracyclic oxindoles (1-6) related to 7, and eight biogenetically-related fischerindoles (8-11) and hapalindoles (12-15). In addition to 1, five other alkaloids were isonitriles and these six compounds collectively accounted for the fungicidal activity of H. welwitschii. The gross structures and relative stereochemistries of 1-6 and 8-15 were elucidated by spectral analysis. The biogenesis of these alkaloids is discussed.

(R)-2-Methylbenzylamine has been used to covalently ''resolve'' thiol acid 7 and assemble 4-thiazolidinone 8a in one step. Selective deprotection of the 2-methylbenzylamide using lithium in ammonia/THF has been achieved in the presence of a readily hydrogenolyzed C-S bond. Enantioenriched (-)-LY213829 (1) of 98% ee has been prepared by this five step route in 25% yield from aldehyde 2. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Reduction of 3-(dialkylamino)-1-aryl-1-propanones with a 2:1 complex of [(2R,3S-(+)-4--dimethylamino-l,2-diphenyl-3-methyl-2-butanol] (8) and lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) provided the corresponding 1,3-aminoalcohols in high ee's (80–88%). This process was developed and applied to the synthesis of LY248686 (1), a potent inhibitor of serotonin (5HT) and norepinephrine (NE) uptake. Absolute configurations have been established by single crystal x-ray analysis.
