A torquoselective 6? electrocyclization approach to reserpine alkaloids.

ABSTRACT: A highly torquoselective thermal triene 6? electrocyclization controls the relative stereochemistry between the C3 and C18 stereocenters of the dodecahydroindolo[2,3-a]benzo[g]quinolizine skeleton of reserpine-type alkaloids. Employing a tandem cross-coupling/electrocyclization protocol allowed us to form the requisite triene and ensure its subsequent cyclization. A novel low-temperature dibromoketene acetal Claisen rearrangement established the requisite exocyclic dienylbromide precursor for the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction.

Synthesis of ent-ketorfanol via a C-H alkenylation/torquoselective 6? electrocyclization cascade.

Project description:The asymmetric synthesis of ent-ketorfanol from simple and commercially available precursors is reported. A Rh(I) -catalyzed intramolecular C?H alkenylation/torquoselective 6??electrocyclization cascade provides a fused bicyclic 1,2-dihydropyridine as a key intermediate. Computational studies were performed to understand the high torquoselectivity of the key 6??electrocyclization. The computational results demonstrate that a conformational effect is responsible for the observed selectivity. The ketone functionality and final ring are introduced in a single step by a redox-neutral acid-catalyzed rearrangement of a vicinal diol to give the requisite carbonyl, followed by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Ajmalicine and Reserpine: Indole Alkaloids as Multi-Target Directed Ligands Towards Factors Implicated in Alzheimer's Disease.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial disorder characterized by exponential loss of memory and cognitive deficit involving several disease modifying targets (amyloid beta, beta-secretase, monoaminoxidase-B, and cholinesterase). The present study explores multi-target directed ligand approach using secondary metabolite reserpine (RES) and ajmalicine (AJM) obtained from Rauwolfia serpentina roots. Novel LCMS and HPLC methods were developed for identification and quantification of reserpine and ajmalicine. In vitro enzyme inhibition assays were performed to evaluate anti-cholinesterase, ?-site amyloid cleaving enzyme (BACE-1) inhibition and monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) inhibition, further analyzed with in silico analysis. Anti-amyloidogenic potential was studied using anti-aggregation studies along with TEM and circular dichroism (CD) analysis. In vitro neuroprotective potential against A? toxicity and anti-oxidative stress was demonstrated using PC12 cell cultures. Reserpine is a more potent dual cholinesterase inhibitor than ajmalicine (IC50 values of 1.7 ?M (AChE) and 2.8 ?M (BuChE)). The anti-aggregation activity of reserpine (68%) was more than ajmalicine (56%). Both compounds demonstrated neuroprotective activity against A?42 (92%) and H2O2 (93%) induced toxicity in PC12 cells against controls. Phytocompounds also inhibited MAO-B and BACE-1 enzymes in concentration dependent manner. Molecular docking studies indicated the strong binding of compounds to the catalytic site of targets. This novel study demonstrated that reserpine and ajmalicine as a multi-target directed ligand that have disease modifying potential for amelioration of AD.

Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-reserpine.

Project description:A catalytic, enantioselective synthesis of (+)-reserpine is reported. The route features a highly diastereoselective, chiral catalyst-controlled formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction between a 6-methoxytryptamine-derived dihydro-β-carboline and an enantioenriched α-substituted enone to form a key tetracyclic intermediate. This approach addresses the challenge of setting the C3 stereogenic center by using catalyst control. Elaboration of the tetracycle to (+)-reserpine includes an intramolecular aldol cyclization and a highly diastereoselective hydrogenation of a sterically hindered enoate.

Origins of 1,6-stereoinduction in torquoselective 6? electrocyclizations.

Project description:A novel stereoselective electrocyclization developed for the total synthesis of reserpine has been explored by both experiment and theory. A stereocenter six atoms away from the newly forming chiral center is responsible for the diastereoselectivity of the ring closure. This stereogenic center, lying at the junction of two six-membered rings, defines the conformation of the substrates' fused ring skeleton that ultimately distinguishes between the two allowed, disrotatory triene geometries at the transition state. The presence of allylic strain in the disfavored transition state results in a torquoselective ring closure (dr up to 15.7:1).

Direct methoxypyridine functionalization approach to magellanine-type Lycopodium alkaloids.

Project description:A concise enantioselective approach to the tetracyclic core of the magellanine-type Lycopodium alkaloids is reported. Key to this approach is the use of the Hajos-Parrish reaction to set a challenging quaternary stereocenter, thereby guiding the stereoselectivity for the remainder of the synthesis, as well as the use of a palladium-mediated direct pyridine functionalization reaction to forge the tetracyclic core.

Interrupted Fischer indolization approach toward the communesin alkaloids and perophoramidine.

Project description:A concise approach toward the total synthesis of the communesin alkaloids and perophoramidine is reported. The strategy relies on the use of the interrupted Fischer indolization to build the tetracyclic indoline core of the natural products. Studies to probe the scope and limitations of this plan are presented. Although the methodology does not tolerate a C8-allyl substituent en route to the challenging vicinal quaternary stereocenters, variation at C7 and on the C ring is permitted.

A Concise, Enantioselective Approach for the Synthesis of Yohimbine Alkaloids.

Project description:We report a concise, enantioselective synthesis of the yohimbine alkaloids (-)-rauwolscine and (-)-alloyohimbane. The key transformation involves a highly enantio- and diastereoselective NHC-catalyzed dimerization and an amidation/N-acyliminium ion cyclization sequence to furnish four of the five requisite rings and three of the five stereocenters in two operations. This route also provides efficient access to all four diastereomeric arrangements of the core stereotriad of the yohimbine alkaloids from a common intermediate. This platform approach in combination with the ability to access both enantiomers from the carbene-catalyzed reaction is a powerful strategy that can produce a wide range of complex alkaloids and related structures for future biomedical investigations.

Bioinspired Diversification Approach Toward the Total Synthesis of Lycodine-Type Alkaloids.

Project description:Nitrogen heterocycles (azacycles) are common structural motifs in numerous pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. Many powerful methods have been developed and continue to be advanced for the selective installation and modification of nitrogen heterocycles through C-H functionalization and C-C cleavage approaches, revealing new strategies for the synthesis of targets containing these structural entities. Here, we report the first total syntheses of the lycodine-type Lycopodium alkaloids casuarinine H, lycoplatyrine B, lycoplatyrine A, and lycopladine F as well as the total synthesis of 8,15-dihydrohuperzine A through bioinspired late-stage diversification of a readily accessible common precursor, N-desmethyl-β-obscurine. Key steps in the syntheses include oxidative C-C bond cleavage of a piperidine ring in the core structure of the obscurine intermediate and site-selective C-H borylation of a pyridine nucleus to enable cross-coupling reactions.
