Development of the Vinylogous Pictet-Spengler Cyclization and Total Synthesis of (±)-Lundurine?A.

ABSTRACT: A novel vinylogous Pictet-Spengler cyclization has been developed for the generation of indole-annulated medium-sized rings. The method enables the synthesis of tetrahydroazocinoindoles with a fully substituted carbon center, a prevalent structural motif in many biologically active alkaloids. The strategy has been applied to the total synthesis of (±)-lundurine?A.

Heteropolyacid ionic liquid heterogeneously catalyzed synthesis of isochromans via oxa-Pictet-Spengler cyclization in dimethyl carbonate.

Project description:A recyclable and efficient heterogeneous, green catalyst based on the synthesis of Keggin-type polyoxometalate (H3PMo12O40) and vitamin B1 analogue 3-ethyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazol-3-ium (HEMT), i.e., [HEMTH]H2[PMo12O40] was prepared. Oxa-Pictet-Spengler cyclization of arylethanols and aldehydes were catalyzed to afford various substituted isochromans in moderate conditions with excellent yields using dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a green solvent. Furthermore, this protocol was applicable in a gram-scale reaction, and the catalyst could be recycled eight times without significant loss of activity.

Total synthesis of enantiopure phalarine via a stereospecific Pictet-Spengler reaction: traceless transfer of chirality from L-tryptophan.

Project description:An appropriately constructed 2-substituted derivative of l-tryptophan undergoes conversion to a prephalarine structure in a single step. The reaction occurs in a diastereoselective fashion, leading shortly thereafter to the naturally occurring version of the alkaloid phalarine.

Enantioselective Pictet-Spengler Reactions of Isatins for the Synthesis of Spiroindolones.

Project description:The condensation cyclization between isatins and 5-methoxy tryptamine catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acids provides spirooxindole tetrahydro-β-carboline products in excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivity (up to 98:2 er). A comparison of catalysts provides insight for the substrate scope and factors responsible for efficient catalytic activity and selectivity in the spirocyclization. Chiral phosphoric acids with different 3,3'-substitution on the binaphthyl system and opposite axial chirality afford the spiroindolone product with the same absolute configuration.

Lessons from the Total Synthesis of (±) Phalarine: Insights Into the Mechanism of the Pictet-Spengler Reaction.

Project description:The furanobisindole alkaloid, phalarine, possesses a unique structural framework within the alkaloid family of natural products. Our laboratory recently disclosed the racemic total synthesis of phalarine, featuring an efficient azaspiroindolenine rearrangement; this achievement is revisited in detail. Upon completion of the first-generation total synthesis, we explored some interesting mechanism-level issues with regard to the key azaspiroindolenine rearrangement. These investigations provided valuable insights into the mechanism of racemization during the azaspiroindolenine rearrangement en route to synthetic phalarine. In addition, in the course of these studies, we demonstrated the Pictet-Spengler capture reaction for C(2)-aryl indoles, and successfully isolated the elusive azaspiroindolenine intermediate of the Pictet-Spengler reaction. Key insights into the remarkably subtle stereoelectronics that govern this rearrangement for C(2)-arylated indoles are discussed.

Highly Stereoselective Ugi/Pictet-Spengler Sequence.

Project description:Discovering novel synthetic routes for rigid nitrogen-containing polyheterocycles using sustainable, atom-economical, and efficient (= short) synthetic pathways is of high interest in organic chemistry. Here, we describe an operationally simple and short synthesis of the privileged scaffold dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-dione from readily accessible starting materials. The alkaloid-type polycyclic scaffold with potential bioactivity was achieved by a multicomponent reaction (MCR)-based protocol via a Ugi four-component reaction and Pictet-Spengler sequence under different conditions, yielding a diverse library of products.

Synthesis of tetrahydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridines via Pictet-Spengler reaction.

Project description:A semi-one-pot method for the synthesis of 4-substituted tetrahydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridines by the Pictet-Spengler reaction was developed. The method is based on the condensation of easily accessibly 2-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)ethanamine with commercially available aromatic aldehydes followed by acid-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler cyclization. Using this approach, we synthesized a range of 4-substituted tetrahydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridines in reasonable yields. The reactivity of some of the products was investigated and selected synthetic transformations of the obtained tetrahydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridines were shown.

Thiourea-catalyzed enantioselective iso-Pictet-Spengler reactions.

Project description:A one-pot condensation of isotryptamines and aldehydes that affords enantiomerically enriched 4-substituted tetrahydro-γ-carbolines is reported. The reaction is induced by a chiral thiourea/benzoic acid dual catalyst system. Purification of the N-Boc-protected products by trituration or crystallization provides the optically pure tetrahydro-γ-carboline derivatives in a scalable and highly practical procedure.

Polycyclic compounds by Ugi-Pictet-Spengler sequence.

Project description:A general approach to architecturally stimulating polycyclic structures is described by a concise, two-step procedure including a Ugi MCR (multicomponent reaction) and a subsequent Pictet-Spengler reaction starting from phenylethylamine-derived isocyanides. Ten compounds are described in full experimental detail, and yields range from medium to very good. Some of the reactions run with a high degree of stereoselectivity. The compound structures resemble steroid hormones and alkaloid classes of natural products. Exemplary products have been fully reduced to their tertiary amines. As such they could potentially become interesting biological probes.

Imaging evaluation of 5HT2C agonists, [(11)C]WAY-163909 and [(11)C]vabicaserin, formed by Pictet-Spengler cyclization.

Project description:The serotonin subtype 2C (5HT2C) receptor is an emerging and promising drug target to treat several disorders of the human central nervous system. In this current report, two potent and selective 5HT2C full agonists, WAY-163909 (2) and vabicaserin (3), were radiolabeled with carbon-11 via Pictet-Spengler cyclization with [(11)C]formaldehyde and used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Reaction conditions were optimized to exclude the major source of isotope dilution caused by the previously unknown breakdown of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to formaldehyde at high temperature under mildly acid conditions. In vivo PET imaging was utilized to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and distribution of the carbon-11 labeled 5HT2C agonists. Both radiolabeled molecules exhibit high blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration and nonspecific binding, which was unaltered by preadministration of the unlabeled agonist. Our work demonstrates that Pictet-Spengler cyclization can be used to label drugs with carbon-11 to study their pharmacokinetics and for evaluation as PET radiotracers.

Synthesis of aza-quaternary centers via Pictet-Spengler reactions of ketonitrones.

Project description:Despite the array of advances that have been made in Pictet-Spengler chemistry, particularly as it relates to the synthesis of β-carboline derivatives of both natural and designed origin, the ability to use such reactions to generate aza-quaternary centers remains limited. Herein, we report a simple procedure that enables the synthesis of a variety of such products by harnessing the distinct reactivity profiles of ketonitrones as activated by commercially available acyl chlorides. Notably, the reaction process is mild, fast, and high-yielding (54-97%) for a diverse collection of substrates, including some typically challenging ones, such as indole cores with electron-deficient substituents. In addition, by deploying an acyl bromide in combination with a thiourea promoter, a catalytic, asymmetric version has been established, leading to good levels of enantioselectivity (up to 83% ee) for several ketonitrones. Finally, the resultant N-O bonds within the products can also be functionalized in several unique ways, affording valuable complementarity to existing Pictet-Spengler variants based on the use of imines.
