Bronsted acid mediated cyclization of enaminones. Rapid and efficient access to the tetracyclic framework of the Strychnos alkaloids.


ABSTRACT: The development of an efficient diastereoselective method that permits rapid construction of the tetracyclic core 17 of the Strychnos-Aspidosperma alkaloids is described. Enaminone 16, synthesized in high yield, has been cyclized under the influence of a Brønsted acid to provide the core tetracyclic framework 17 of the Strychnos alkaloids in optically active form or alternatively to the ?-ketoester tetrahydro-?-carboline (THBC) unit 18, by varying the equivalents of acid and the molar concentration. Attempts to utilize 18 to form the C?-C?? bond of the akuammiline related alkaloids represented by strictamine (22), using metal-carbenoid chemistry, are also described.
