Aucubinine A, a monoterpene alkaloidisolated from the metabolites of aucubin in the presence of human intestinal bacteria, has been synthesized from 4-hydro-5-hydroxyl-3-methylidene-5H-cyclopentadieno[2,1-c]pyridine (6) in 30% overall yield. Hydroboration followed by oxidation in basic medium converted 6 todiastereomeric diols 7, which were subjected to selective benzylic oxidation to form aucubinine A.

Key words: aucubinine A, cyclopentadieno[2,1-c]pyridine, monoterpene alkaloid, synthesis
