A unified route to the welwitindolinone alkaloids: total syntheses of (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate, (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile, and (-)-3-hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate.

ABSTRACT: As part of a comprehensive strategy to the welwitindolinone alkaloids possessing a bicyclo[4.3.1]decane core, we report herein concise asymmetric total syntheses of (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate (2a), (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile (2b), and (-)-3-hydroxy-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate (3a) from a common tetracyclic intermediate. The crucial vinyl chloride moiety was installed through electrophilic chlorination of a hydrazone, but only after adjustment of reactivity to circumvent a facile skeletal rearrangement. Selective desulfurization and oxidation of 2a provided access to 2b and 3a, respectively. Notably, this work provides corrected (1)H and (13)C NMR spectral data for 3a.

Total synthesis of N-methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile.

Project description:Described is a concise total synthesis of N-methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile, the first in a family of complex bicyclo[4.3.1]decane-containing indole alkaloids to yield to synthesis. The complete carbon core of the natural product was assembled rapidly through a Lewis acid-mediated alkylative coupling followed directly by a palladium-catalyzed enolate arylation reaction. The final ring of the pentacycle was introduced by an indole oxidation/cyclization, and the isonitrile was installed through the rearrangement of an aldehyde to an isothiocyanate followed by desulfurization.

Enantiospecific total synthesis of N-methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile.

Project description:The total synthesis of N-methylwelwitindolinone D isonitrile (1) has been achieved in 17 steps from a readily available carvone derivative. The route features a double C-H functionalization event involving a keto oxindole substrate to introduce the tetrahydrofuran ring of the natural product.

Total synthesis of (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate.

Project description:We report the first total synthesis of (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isothiocyanate. Our route features a number of key transformations, including an indolyne cyclization to assemble the [4.3.1]-bicyclic scaffold, as well as a late-stage intramolecular nitrene insertion to functionalize the C11 bridgehead carbon en route to the natural product.

Unified Approach to Prenylated Indole Alkaloids: Total Syntheses of (-)-17-Hydroxy-Citrinalin B, (+)-Stephacidin A, and (+)-Notoamide I.

Project description:A unified strategy for the synthesis of congeners of the prenylated indole alkaloids is presented. This strategy has yielded the first synthesis of the natural product (-)-17-hydroxy-citrinalin B as well as syntheses of (+)-stephacidin A and (+)-notoamide I. An enolate addition to an in situ generated isocyanate was utilized in forging a key bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane moiety, and in this way connected the two structural classes of the prenylated indole alkaloids through synthesis.

Total synthesis of oxidized welwitindolinones and (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile.

Project description:We report the total synthesis of (-)-N-methylwelwitindolinone C isonitrile, in addition to the total syntheses of the 3-hydroxylated welwitindolinones. Our routes to these elusive natural products feature the strategic use of a deuterium kinetic isotope effect to improve the efficiency of a late-stage nitrene insertion reaction. We also provide a computational prediction for the stereochemical configuration at C3 of the hydroxylated welwitindolinones, which was confirmed by experimental studies.

Unified total syntheses of fawcettimine class alkaloids: fawcettimine, fawcettidine, lycoflexine, and lycoposerramine B.

Project description:The total syntheses of the lycopodium alkaloids fawcettimine, fawcettidine, lycoflexine, and lycoposerramine B have been accomplished through an efficient, unified, and stereocontrolled strategy that relies on a Diels-Alder reaction to construct the cis-fused 6,5-carbocycles with one all-carbon quaternary center. Access to the enantioselective syntheses of both antipodes of those alkaloids can be achieved by kinetic resolution of the earliest intermediate via a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (Sharpless AD). Compared to existing approaches to these alkaloids, our synthetic route possesses superior stereocontrol over the C-4 and C-15 stereogenic centers as well as allowing for more functional variation on the 6-membered ring.

A unified strategy to reverse-prenylated indole alkaloids: total syntheses of preparaherquamide, premalbrancheamide, and (+)-VM-55599.

Project description:A full account of our studies toward reverse-prenylated indole alkaloids that contain a bicyclo[2.2.2]core is described. A divergent route is reported which has resulted in the synthesis of preparaherquamide, (+)-VM-55599, and premalbrancheamide. An intramolecular Dieckmann cyclization between an enolate and isocyanate was used to forge the bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane core that is characteristic of these molecules. The pentacyclic indole scaffold was constructed through a one-pot Hofmann rearrangement followed by Fischer indole synthesis. The utilization of our previously reported indole peripheral functionalization strategy also led to natural products including malbrancheamides B, C, stephacidin A, notoamides F, I and R, aspergamide B, and waikialoid A. Ultimately, the divergent route that we devised provided access to a wide range of prenylated indole alkaloids that are differently substituted on the cyclic amine core.

Total syntheses of arylindolizidine alkaloids (+)-ipalbidine and (+)-antofine.

Project description:This paper presents the first application of two recently developed reactions to natural product synthesis. The first method involves a 6-endo-trig cyclization to prepare a versatile chiral enaminone building block. The second is a direct C-H arylation reaction. As a showcase for the utility of these methods, (+)-antofine and (+)-ipalbidine were synthesized in only 8 steps and 24-26% overall yields.

A Unified Approach to Polycyclic Alkaloids of the Ingenamine Estate: Total Syntheses of Keramaphidin B, Ingenamine, and Nominal Njaoamine I.

Project description:Many polycyclic marine alkaloids are thought to derive from partly reduced macrocyclic alkylpyridine derivatives via a transannular Diels-Alder reaction that forms their common etheno-bridged diaza-decaline core ("Baldwin-Whitehead hypothesis"). Rather than trying to emulate this biosynthesis pathway, a route to these natural products following purely chemical logic was pursued. Specifically, a Michael/Michael addition cascade provided rapid access to this conspicuous tricyclic scaffold and allowed different handles to be introduced at the bridgehead quarternary center. This flexibility opened opportunities for the formation of the enveloping medium-sized and macrocyclic rings. Ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) proved most reliable and became a recurrent theme en route to keramaphidin B, ingenamine, xestocyclamine A, and nominal njaoamine I (the structure of which had to be corrected in the aftermath of the synthesis). Best results were obtained with molybdenum alkylidyne catalysts endowed with (tripodal) silanolate ligands, which proved fully operative in the presence of tertiary amines, quinoline, and other Lewis basic sites. RCAM was successfully interlinked with macrolactamization, an intricate hydroboration/protonation/alkyl-Suzuki coupling sequence, or ring closing olefin metathesis (RCM) for the closure of the second lateral ring; the use of RCM for the formation of an 11-membered cycle is particularly noteworthy. Equally rare are RCM reactions that leave a pre-existing triple bond untouched, as the standard ruthenium catalysts are usually indiscriminative vis-à-vis the different π-bonds. Of arguably highest significance, however, is the use of two consecutive or even concurrent RCAM reactions en route to nominal njaoamine I as the arguably most complex of the chosen targets.
