Synthetic Approach to Chromone and Flavonoid Piperidine Alkaloids.

ABSTRACT: Despite the enormous importance of chromone and flavonoid piperidine alkaloids, a general method for their synthesis has not been described. Accordingly, from simple tetrahydro-3-pyridinemethanols (A) and phenol derivatives (B), a synthetic approach to chromone and flavonoid piperidine alkaloids is presented. The access to a novel chromone and flavonoid alkaloid precursors 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methylenepiperidines (C) is achieved in only two steps: Mitsunobu reaction followed by an intramolecular C-H phenolization via an aromatic Claisen rearrangement of the respective Mitsunobu adducts (D). Consequently, the simultaneous installation of the functionalized phenol group and the exo-methylene group within the piperidine skeleton, permits, not only the easy constr
