Revisiting a classic approach to the Aspidosperma alkaloids: an intramolecular Schmidt reaction mediated synthesis of (+)-aspidospermidine.

ABSTRACT: [reaction: see text] A total synthesis of (+)-aspidospermidine (1) is described. The key reactions used in the synthesis of this pentacyclic Aspidosperma alkaloid were a deracemizing imine alkylation/Robinson annulation sequence, a selective "redox ketalization", and an intramolecular Schmidt reaction. A Fischer indolization step carried out on a tricyclic ketone mirrored the sequence reported by Stork and Dolfini in their classic aspidospermine synthesis.

Formal synthesis of aspidosperma alkaloids via the intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition of 2-azapentdienyllithiums.

Project description:[reaction: see text] A formal synthesis of the Aspidosperma alkaloids aspidospermidine, aspidospermine, and quebrachamine is reported through an efficient preparation of Stork's penultimate intermediate. The key step of the sequence involved an intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition of the 2-azapentadienyllithium 21 formed in situ from the corresponding imine 1, which after N-alkylation of the resulting cycloadduct provided 2 in excellent yield. The synthesis represents a new disconnection of the classical tricyclic ketone used for appendage of the requisite indole.

Synthesis, structural analysis, and reactivity of bridged orthoamides by intramolecular Schmidt reaction.

Project description:Intramolecular Schmidt reactions can be reliably steered toward bridged heterocycles containing orthoamides in high yields. The ketal tether enhances the control of regioselectivity in the migration of the bond distal to the reactive azide nucleophile, thus providing the first examples of the intramolecular Schmidt reaction proceeding with a complete regioselectivity en route to bridged products. The method is broad in scope and allows for systematic study of compounds that are analogous to elusive tetrahedral intermediates of amide addition reactions. Some initial reactivity and structural profiling of these compounds are also reported.

Stereoselective and Stereospecific Triflate-Mediated Intramolecular Schmidt Reaction: Ready Access to Alkaloid Skeletons*.

Project description:The stereoselectivity and stereospecificity of the triflate-mediated intramolecular Schmidt reaction of substituted 3-(1-azidocyclohexyl)propanol derivatives leading to octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine, the structural skeleton of several important families of alkaloids such as the Stemona alkaloids, has been examined. The reaction involves an initial intramolecular SN 2 reaction between the azide moiety and the triflate affording an intermediate spirocyclic aminodiazonoium salt that undergoes the expected 1,2-shift/N2 -elimination followed by hydride-mediated iminium salt reduction. Remarkably, chiral alcohols are converted to the azabicyclic derivative with no or limited racemization. The initial asymmetric alcohol center controls the diastereoselectivity of the whole process, leading to the formation of one out of the four possible diastereoisomers of disubstituted octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine. The origin of the stereoselectivity is rationalized based on theoretical calculations. The concise synthesis of (-)-(cis)-3-propylindolizidine and (-)-(cis)-3-butyllehmizidine, two alkaloids found in the venom of workers of the ant Myrmicaria melanogaster, is reported.

Overcoming product inhibition in catalysis of the intramolecular Schmidt reaction.

Project description:A method for carrying out the intramolecular Schmidt reaction of alkyl azides and ketones using a substoichiometric amount of catalyst is reported. Following extensive screening, the use of the strong hydrogen-bond-donating solvent hexafluoro-2-propanol was found to be consistent with low catalyst loadings, which ranged from 2.5 mol % for favorable substrates to 25 mol % for more difficult cases. Reaction optimization, broad substrate scope, and preliminary mechanistic studies of this improved version of the reaction are described.

Stereocontrol in a combined allylic azide rearrangement and intramolecular Schmidt reaction.

Project description:Pre-equilibration of an interconverting set of isomeric allylic azides is coupled with an intramolecular Schmidt reaction to afford substituted lactams stereoselectively. The effect of substitution and a preliminary mechanistic study are reported. The synthetic potential of this method is demonstrated in the context of an enantioselective synthesis of an advanced intermediate leading toward pinnaic acid.

A tandem Prins/Schmidt reaction approach to marine alkaloids: formal and total syntheses of lepadiformines A and C.

Project description:The tricyclic core of the cylindricine or lepadiformine families of alkaloid natural products was assembled via a Prins addition/intramolecular Schmidt rearrangement under Lewis acid conditions. Both single-pot and two-stage variations of this process were examined, with particular attention to the stereochemical outcome of the processes. This technology has been applied to a formal total synthesis of lepadiformine A and a total synthesis of lepadiformine C.

Synthesis of medium-bridged twisted lactams via cation-pi control of the regiochemistry of the intramolecular Schmidt reaction.

Project description:Medium-bridged twisted amides can be synthesized by the intramolecular Schmidt reaction of 2-azidoalkyl ketones. In these reactions, the regiochemistry of the Schmidt reaction is diverted into a typically disfavored pathway by the presence of an aromatic group at the alpha-position adjacent to the ketone, which stabilizes the predominantly reactive conformation of the azidohydrin intermediate by engaging in a nonbonded cation-pi interaction with the positively charged diazonium cation. This results in the rarely observed rearrangement of the C-C bond distal to the azidoalkyl chain. This reaction pathway also requires the azide-containing tether to be situated in the axial orientation in the key azidohydrin intermediate. Examination of the effect of substitution of aromatic rings on the regiochemistry of the Schmidt reaction shows an increase in the migratory selectivity with more electron-rich aromatic groups. The selectivity is lower when an electron-withdrawing substituent is placed on the aromatic ring. The ability of cation-pi interactions to act as a controlling element decreases when Lewis acids coordinate to substituents on the aromatic ring. The developed version of the Schmidt reaction provides a direct access to a family of medium-bridged twisted amides with a [4.3.1] bicyclic system, compounds which are very difficult to access with use of other currently available methods.

Concise and enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-mehranine, (-)-methylenebismehranine, and related Aspidosperma alkaloids.

Project description:We report an efficient and highly stereoselective strategy for the synthesis of Aspidosperma alkaloids based on the transannular cyclization of a chiral lactam precursor. Three new stereocenters are formed in this key step with excellent diastereoselectivity due to the conformational bias of the cyclization precursor, leading to a versatile pentacyclic intermediate. A subsequent stereoselective epoxidation followed by a mild formamide reduction enabled the first total synthesis of the Aspidosperma alkaloids (-)-mehranine and (+)-(6S,7S)-dihydroxy-N-methylaspidospermidine. A late-stage dimerization of (-)-mehranine mediated by scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate completed the first total synthesis of (-)-methylenebismehranine.

Temperature dependence of turnover in a Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed intramolecular Schmidt reaction.

Project description:The intramolecular Schmidt reaction of ketones and tethered azides is an efficient method for the generation of amides and lactams. This reaction is catalyzed by Lewis acids, which tightly bind the strongly basic amide product and result in product inhibition. We report herein conditions to achieve a catalytic Schmidt reaction using substoichiometric amounts of the heat-stable Lewis acid Sc(OTf)3. This species was shown to effectively release products of the Schmidt reaction in a temperature-dependent fashion. Thus, heat was able to promote catalyst turnover. A brief substrate scope was conducted using these conditions.
