A highly efficient synthesis of the enantioenriched tetrahydro-beta-carbolines was developed by using a chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed Pictet-Spengler reaction of indolyl dihydropyridines. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions to afford the desired chiral tetrahydro-b-carbolines in good to excellent yields (up to 96%) and high enantio-selectivities (up to 99% ee). With this method, a formal synthesis of tangutorine and a total synthesis of deplancheine were achieved in a highly efficient manner.
