Total synthesis of lepadiformine alkaloids using N-Boc ?-amino nitriles as trianion synthons.

ABSTRACT: Lepadiformine A, B, and C were synthesized in an enantiomerically pure form using a reductive cyclization strategy. N-Boc ?-amino nitriles were deprotonated and alkylated with enantiomerically pure dibromides to afford the first ring. The products were manipulated to introduce phosphate leaving groups, and subsequent reductive lithiation followed by intramolecular alkylation formed the second ring with high stereoselectivity. The third ring was formed by intramolecular displacement of a mesylate by the deprotected amine. Lepadiformine A and B contain a hydroxymethyl group adjacent to the amine. This appendage was introduced in a sequence using a Polonovski-Potier reaction as the key step. The synthetic strategy is stereoselective and convergent and demonstrates the utility of N-Boc ?-amino nitriles as linchpins for alkaloid synthesis.

Total synthesis of all (-)-Agelastatin alkaloids.

Project description:The pyrrole-imidazole family of marine alkaloids, derived from linear clathrodin-like precursors, constitutes a diverse array of structurally complex natural products. The bioactive agelastatins are members of this family that possess a tetracyclic molecular framework incorporating C4-C8 and C7-N12 bond connectivities. We provide a hypothesis for the formation of the unique agelastatin architecture that maximally exploits the intrinsic chemistry of plausible biosynthetic precursors. We report the concise enantioselective total syntheses of all known agelastatin alkaloids including the first total syntheses of agelastatins C, D, E, and F. Our gram-scale chemical synthesis of agelastatin A was inspired by our hypothesis for the biogenesis of the cyclopentane C-ring and required the development of new transformations including an imidazolone-forming annulation reaction and a carbohydroxylative trapping of imidazolones.

Total Synthesis of Dimeric HPI Alkaloids.

Project description:In this paper, we report a full account of the synthesis of dimeric hexahydropyrroloindole alkaloids and its analogues. The key feature of our new strategy is the novel catalytic copper (10 %) mediated intramolecular arylations of o-haloanilides followed by intermolecular oxidative dimerization of the resulting oxindoles in one pot. This sequential reaction leads to the key intermediates for the synthesis of (+)-chimonanthine, (+)-folicanthine, (-)-calycanthine and (-)-ditryptophenaline. In the presence of catalytic amount of cuprous iodide (10 %), an intramolecular arylation of o-haloanilides followed by an intermolecular oxidative dimerization of the resulting oxindoles leads to a common intermediate for the synthesis of (+)-chimonanthine, (+)-folicanthine and (-)-calycanthine. Based on this cascade sequence, we also developed a flexible strategy towards the asymmetric syntheses of dimeric HPI alkaloids (-)-ditryptophenaline and its analogues.

Total synthesis and cytotoxicity of Leucetta alkaloids.

Project description:The total synthesis of a number of representative natural products isolated from Leucetta and Clathrina sponges containing a polysubstituted 2-aminoimidazole are described. These syntheses take advantage of the site specific metallation reactions of 4,5-diiodoimidazoles resulting in the syntheses of three different classes of Leucetta derived natural products. The cytotoxicities of these natural products, along with several precursors in MCF7 cells were determined through an MTT growth assay. For comparative purposes a series of naphthimidazole-containing family members are included.

Total synthesis and study of myrmicarin alkaloids.

Project description:The myrmicarins are a family of air- and temperature-sensitive alkaloids that possess unique structural features. Our concise enantioselective synthesis of the tricyclic myrmicarins enabled evaluation of a potentially biomimetic assembly of the complex members via direct dimerization of simpler structures. These studies revealed that myrmicarin 215B undergoes efficient and highly diastereoselective Brønsted acid-induced dimerization to generate a new heptacyclic structure, isomyrmicarin 430A. Mechanistic analysis demonstrated that heterodimerization between myrmicarin 215B and a conformationally restricted azafulvenium ion precursor afforded a functionalized isomyrmicarin 430A structure in a manner that was consistent with a highly efficient, non-concerted ionic process. Recent advancement in heterodimerization between tricyclic derivatives has enabled the preparation of strategically functionalized hexacyclic structures. The design and synthesis of structurally versatile dimeric compounds has greatly facilitated manipulation of these structures en route to more complex myrmicarin derivatives.

Total Synthesis of Novel Skeleton Flavan-Alkaloids.

Project description:The first total synthesis of novel skeleton natural compounds kinkeloids A and B, a group of newly discovered flavan alkaloids isolated from the African plant Combretum micranthum, are described in this study. The key and final step are achieved by Mannich reaction, through which the piperidine moiety couples to the flavan moiety. The identities of synthesized kinkeloids were further confirmed through a comparison with the ones in the plant leaves extract using LC/MS.

Enantioselective total synthesis of tricyclic myrmicarin alkaloids.

Project description:[reaction: see text] An enantioselective gram-scale synthesis of a key dihydroindolizine intermediate for the preparation of myrmicarin alkaloids is described. Key transformations in this convergent approach include a stereospecific palladium-catalyzed N-vinylation of a pyrrole with a vinyl triflate, a copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate reduction of a beta-pyrrolyl enoate, and a regioselective Friedel-Crafts reaction. The synthesis of optically active and isomerically pure samples of (4aR)-myrmicarins 215A, 215B, and 217 in addition to their respective C4a-epimers is presented.

Collective total synthesis of stereoisomeric yohimbine alkaloids.

Project description:Stereoisomeric polycyclic natural products are important for drug discovery-based screening campaigns, due to the close correlation of stereochemistry with diversified bioactivities. Nature generates the stereoisomeric yohimbine alkaloids using bioavailable monoterpene secolaganin as the ten-carbon building block. In this work, we reset the stage by the development of a bioinspired coupling, in which the rapid construction of the entire pentacyclic skeleton and the complete control of all five stereogenic centers are achieved through enantioselective kinetic resolution of an achiral, easily accessible synthetic surrogate. The stereochemical diversification from a common intermediate allows for the divergent and collective synthesis of all four stereoisomeric subfamilies of yohimbine alkaloids through orchestrated tackling of thermodynamic and kinetic preference.

Toward the Total Synthesis of Alpkinidine: Synthesis of Haloquinone CE Ring System Synthons and Attempted Nucleophilic Bisannulation.

Project description:Model chemistry involving the bisannulation of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with the ester enolate derived from ethyl o-nitrophenylacetic acid, which rapid assembled the ABCD ring system of a pentacyclic pyrroloacridine, has been applied to the attempted synthesis of the marine natural product alpkinidine. The reaction of ethyl o-nitrophenylacetic acid with 6,7-dichloro-2-methylisoquinoline-1,5,8(2H)-trione, required to extend the model strategy to alpkinidine, was unfruitful, giving only complex mixtures. Efforts to direct the regiochemistry of the key Michael substitution step using 6-bromo-2-methylisoquinoline-1,5,8(2H)-trione afforded an adduct sharing the complete carbon skeleton of alpkinidine, but this could not be elaborated to the natural product.

Total synthesis of (-)- and ent-(+)-vindoline and related alkaloids.

Project description:A concise 11-step total synthesis of (-)- and ent-(+)-vindoline (3) is detailed based on a unique tandem intramolecular [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole inspired by the natural product structure, in which three rings and four C-C bonds are formed central to the characteristic pentacyclic ring system setting all six stereocenters and introducing essentially all the functionality found in the natural product in a single step. As key elements of the scope and stereochemical features of the reaction were defined, a series of related natural products of increasing complexity were prepared by total synthesis including both enantiomers of minovine (4), 4-desacetoxy-6,7-dihydrovindorosine (5), 4-desacetoxyvindorosine (6), and vindorosine (7) as well as N-methylaspidospermidine (11). Subsequent extensions of the approach provided both enantiomers of 6,7-dihydrovindoline (8), 4-desacetoxyvindoline (9), and 4-desacetoxy-6,7-dihydrovindoline (10).
