Synthesis of fused tricyclic amines unsubstituted at the ring-junction positions by a cascade condensation, cyclization, cycloaddition then decarbonylation strategy.

ABSTRACT: Heating aldehydes that contain a protected hydroxymethyl group, a tethered alkyl chloride and a tethered alkenyl group at the ?-position of the aldehyde with an amine sets up a cascade (tandem) reaction sequence involving condensation to an intermediate imine, then cyclization and formation of an intermediate azomethine ylide and then intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition. The fused tricyclic products are formed with complete or very high stereochemical control. The hydroxymethyl group was converted into an aldehyde - which could be removed to give the tricyclic amine products that are unsubstituted at the ring junction positions - or was converted into an alkene, which allowed the formation of the core ring system of the alkaloids scandine and meloscine.

Heating aldehydes that contain a protected hydroxymethyl group, a tethered alkyl chloride and a tethered alkenyl group at the α-position of the aldehyde with an amine sets up a cascade (tandem) reaction sequence involving condensation to an intermediate imine, then cyclization and formation of an intermediate azomethine ylide and then intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition.

Intercepted-Knoevenagel condensation for the synthesis of unsymmetrical fused-tricyclic 4H-pyrans.

Project description:4H-Pyrans (4H-Pys) and 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) are important classes of heterocyclic scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Herein, an indium(III)-catalyzed one-pot domino reaction for the synthesis of highly functionalized 4H-Pys, and a model of 1,4-DHP is reported. This alternative approach to the challenging Hantzsch 4-component reaction enables the synthesis of fused-tricyclic heterocycles, and the mechanistic studies underline the importance of an intercepted-Knoevenagel adduct to achieve higher chemoselectivity towards these types of unsymmetrical heterocycles.

Biomimetic Total Synthesis of (±)-Griffipavixanthone via a Cationic Cycloaddition-Cyclization Cascade.

Project description:We report the concise, biomimetic total synthesis of the dimeric, Diels-Alder natural product griffipavixanthone from a readily accessible prenylated xanthone monomer. The key step utilizes a novel intermolecular [4+2] cycloaddition-cyclization cascade between a vinyl p-quinone methide and an in situ generated isomeric diene promoted by either Lewis or Brønsted acids. Experimental and computational studies of the reaction pathway suggest that a stepwise, cationic Diels-Alder cycloaddition is operative.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Fused Vinylcyclopropanes by Intramolecular Tsuji-Trost Cascade Cyclization.

Project description:A stereoselective intramolecular Tsuji-Trost cascade cyclization of (homo)allylic vicinal diacetates with a pendant β-ketoamide or related carbon nucleophile to give γ-lactam-fused vinylcyclopropanes is reported. In addition to two new rings, the products contain three new C-C stereocenters (two of which are quaternary) with a 9:1 dr. Moreover, the reaction proceeds in >94% enantiospecificity with optically enriched starting materials, using an inexpensive carbohydrate as the source of chirality.

Synthesis of (+/-)-3H-epivincamine via a Rh(II)-triggered cyclization/cycloaddition cascade.

Project description:A synthesis of (+/-)-3H-epivincamine is reported. Important steps include (1) a Rh(II)-catalyzed intramolecular [3+2]-cycloaddition of an alpha-diazo indolo amide, (2) a reductive ring opening of the cycloadduct, (3) a decarboethoxylation reaction, and (4) a base-induced keto-amide ring contraction.

Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular carbopalladation/cyclization cascade: access to polycyclic N-fused heterocycles.

Project description:An efficient palladium-catalyzed intramolecular carbopalladation/cyclization cascade toward tetra- and pentacyclic N-fused heterocycles has been developed. This transformation proceeds via the palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl halides with internal propargylic esters or ethers followed by the 5-endo-dig cyclization leading to polycyclic pyrroloheterocycles in moderate to excellent yields.

A Counterion-Directed Approach to the Diels-Alder Paradigm: Cascade Synthesis of Tricyclic Fused Cyclopropanes.

Project description:An approach to the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction has led to a cascade synthesis of complex carbocycles composed of three fused rings and up to five stereocenters with complete stereocontrol. Computational analysis reveals that the reaction proceeds by a Michael/Michael/cyclopropanation/epimerization cascade in which size and coordination of the counterion is key.

Cascade reactions during coronafacic acid biosynthesis: elongation, cyclization, and functionalization during Cfa7-catalyzed condensation.

Project description:Herein, the biogenesis of the hydrindane ring system within coronafacic acid (CFA) has been investigated. These studies reveal that in addition to the canonical polyketide chain elongation and functionalization encoded by type I polyketide synthase (PKSs), cascade reactions can take place during assembly line-like biosynthesis. Indeed, upon Cfa7-catalyzed Claisen condensation between enzyme-bound malonate and an N-acetylcysteamine (SNAC) thioester, latent reactivity within the elongated enzyme-bound intermediate is unveiled. This reactivity translates into an intramolecular cyclization, which can proceed in a facile manner as observed by the enzyme-independent cyclization of a linear beta-ketothioester intermediate.

Application of the Rh(II) cyclization/cycloaddition cascade for the total synthesis of (+/-)-aspidophytine.

Project description:[Structure: see text] A new strategy for the synthesis of (+/-)-aspidophytine has been developed and is based on a Rh(II)-catalyzed cyclization/dipolar cycloaddition sequence. The resulting [3+2]-cycloadduct undergoes an efficient Lewis acid mediated cascade that rapidly provides the complete skeleton of aspidophytine. The synthesis also features a mild decarbomethoxylation reaction.

An efficient approach to angular tricyclic molecular architecture via Nazarov-like cyclization and double ring-expansion cascade.

Project description:A modular and efficient method for constructing angular tri-carbocyclic architectures containing quaternary carbon center(s) from 1,3-dicycloalkylidenyl ketones is established, which involves an unconventional synergistic cascade of a Nazarov cyclization and two ring expansions. It features high selectivity, mild conditions and convenient operation, wide scope and easy availability of substrate. Substitution with R1 and R2 at the 4πe-system with electron-donating group favors this reaction, while that with electron-withdrawing group or proton disfavors. The electron-donating group as R1 directs the initial ring expansion at its own site, while the p-π- or n-π- associated substituent as R2 favors selectively the later ring expansion near its location because of the beneficial maintenance of an original conjugated system. The stereoselectivity has proved to be governed by either the steric effect of R3 and R4 at the expanded rings, or the migration ability of the migrating atom. Density Functional Theory calculation suggests the initial Nazarov cyclization would be the rate-determining step. A racemic total synthesis of the natural (±)-waihoensene is realized in 18 steps by use of this methodology.

Gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization/intermolecular cycloaddition cascade as a fast track to polycarbocycles and mechanistic insights.

Project description:Metal carbene is an active synthetic intermediate, which has shown versatile applications in synthetic chemistry. Although a variety of catalytic methods have been disclosed for the generation of carbene species from different precursors, there is an increasing demand for the development of efficient and practical approaches for the in-situ formation of metal carbene intermediates with structural diversity and unrevealed reactivity. Herein we report a gold-catalyzed cascade protocol for the assembly of polycarbocyclic frameworks in high yields under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies indicate that the unique β-aryl gold-carbene species, generated via gold-promoted 6-endo-dig diazo-yne cyclization, is the key intermediate in this reaction, followed by a [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with external alkenes. In comparison to the well-documented metal carbene cycloadditions, this carbene intermediate serves as a 4-C synthon in a cycloaddition reaction. A variety of elusive π-conjugated polycyclic hydrocarbons (CPHs) with multiple substituents are readily accessible from the initially generated products by a mild oxidation procedure.
