Summary:[Display omitted] •Syntheses of the alkaloids cimitrypazepine and fargesine are presented.•6-Hydroxy-2-iodo-3-nitrobenzaldehyde served as the starting point of the syntheses.•A Heck reaction and a reductive N-heterocyclization were used as key steps. A short synthetic sequence leading to the tricyclic alkaloids cimitrypazepine and fargesine is reported. An intramolecular Heck reaction and a palladium catalyzed reductive N-heterocyclization are key steps in the synthesis.
