Total Synthesis of (±)-Aspidospermidine, (±)-Aspidofractinine, (±)-Limaspermidine, and (±)-Vincadifformine via a Cascade and Common Intermediate Strategy.

ABSTRACT: A concise strategy for the total synthesis of several Aspidosperma alkaloids is reported. A Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling provides access to a 2-vinyl indole that undergoes a Diels-Alder cascade reaction with butyn-2-one to deliver a pyrroloindoline intermediate. This undergoes cascade amidation, reduction, skeletal rearrangement, and intramolecular Michael addition to provide a common intermediate containing the full framework of the Aspidosperma alkaloids. The utility of this intermediate is shown in the synthesis of four different natural products.

Total Synthesis of (-)-Aspidospermidine via an Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Allylic Substitution Strategy.

Project description:A total synthesis of (-)-aspidospermidine via an enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution strategy is reported. This represents the first application of a Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution with a 3-substituted indole derivative in the synthesis of Aspidosperma alkaloids. In our synthetic route, the allylic substitution reaction was the stereo defining step. The pentacyclic framework was then constructed in a fully diastereoselective sequence. This culminated in the shortest enantioselective synthesis of aspidospermidine reported to date, in seven linear steps.

A Cascade Strategy Enables a Total Synthesis of (±)-Morphine.

Project description:Morphine has been a target for synthetic chemists since Robinson proposed its correct structure in 1925, resulting in a large number of total syntheses of morphine alkaloids. Here we report a total synthesis of (±)-morphine that employs two key strategic cyclizations: 1) a diastereoselective light-mediated cyclization of an O-arylated butyrolactone to form a tricyclic cis-fused benzofuran and 2) a cascade ene-yne-ene ring closing metathesis to forge the tetracyclic morphine core. This approach enables a short and stereoselective synthesis of morphine in an overall yield of 6.6?%.

Total Synthesis of (+)-Euphorikanin A via an Atropospecific Cascade.

Project description:A total synthesis of the ingenane-derived diterpenoid (+)-euphorikanin A is described. Key to the strategy is a stereocontrolled one-pot sequence consisting of transannular aldol addition reaction, hemiketal formation, and subsequent semipinacol rearrangement that efficiently leads to the complete euphorikanin skeleton. Atroposelective ring-closing olefin metathesis proved critical for the stereospecific cascade, leading to formation of a (Z)-bicyclo[7.4.1]tetradecenone core. An additional salient feature of the route is pyrolysis of a bis-methylxanthate to cleanly furnish the natural product.

Studies on asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-β-hydrastine via a chiral epoxide ring-opening cascade cyclization strategy.

Project description:Herein, facile and enantioselective approaches to synthesize the core phthalide tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold of (-)-β-hydrastine via both a CF3COOH-catalyzed (86% ee) and KHMDS-catalyzed (78% ee) epoxide ring-opening/transesterification cascade cyclization from chiral epoxide under very mild conditions are described. The key elements include a highly enantioselective epoxidation using the Shi ketone catalyst and an intramolecular CF3COOH-catalyzed cascade cyclization in one pot, and a late-stage C-3' epimerization under MeOK/MeOH conditions as the key steps to achieve the first total synthesis of (-)-β-hydrastine (up to 81% ee).

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (-)-Limaspermidine and (-)-Kopsinine by a Nitroaryl Transfer Cascade Strategy.

Project description:We report an intramolecular conjugate addition/Truce-Smiles/E1cb cascade of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide-functionalized cyclohexenones as a new entry to the core scaffold of monoterpene indole alkaloids. The method was applied to the asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-limaspermidine, (-)-kopsinilam, and (-)-kopsinine, as well as the framework of the kopsifoline alkaloids, thus highlighting its complementarity to existing approaches involving the use of indole-based starting materials or the interrupted Fischer indole synthesis. Furthermore, we show that the cascade tolerates various substituents on the nitroarene, opening the way to other natural products as well as non-natural analogues.

Total synthesis of (+/-)-strychnine via a [4 + 2]-cycloaddition/rearrangement cascade.

Project description:A new strategy for the synthesis of the Strychnos alkaloid (+/-)-strychnine has been developed and is based on an intramolecular [4 + 2]-cycloaddition/rearrangement cascade of an indolyl-substituted amidofuran. The critical D-ring was assembled by an intramolecular palladium-catalyzed enolate-driven cross-coupling of an N-tethered vinyl iodide. [reaction: see text].

Biomimetic Total Synthesis of (±)-Griffipavixanthone via a Cationic Cycloaddition-Cyclization Cascade.

Project description:We report the concise, biomimetic total synthesis of the dimeric, Diels-Alder natural product griffipavixanthone from a readily accessible prenylated xanthone monomer. The key step utilizes a novel intermolecular [4+2] cycloaddition-cyclization cascade between a vinyl p-quinone methide and an in situ generated isomeric diene promoted by either Lewis or Brønsted acids. Experimental and computational studies of the reaction pathway suggest that a stepwise, cationic Diels-Alder cycloaddition is operative.

Project description:The first total synthesis of (±)-gelsenicine is reported. The synthetic route is highly efficient (13 steps), featuring (1) a pivotal metal-catalyzed isomerization/rearrangement process that forges the central core of the molecule and (2) two facile C-N bond-forming steps that establish the flanking heterocycles.

Concise Total Synthesis of Agarozizanol B via a Strained Photocascade Intermediate.

Project description:The prezizane-type sesquiterpene agarozizanol B was synthesized employing a photochemical cascade reaction as the key step. Starting from a readily available 1-indanone with a tethered olefin, a strained tetracyclic skeleton was assembled which contained all carbon atoms of the sesquiterpene with the correct relative configuration. The conversion into the tricyclic prezizane skeleton was accomplished by a strategic cyclopropane bond cleavage. Prior to the cyclopropane ring opening an adaption of the oxidation state was required, which could be combined with a reductive resolution step. After removal of two functional groups, the natural product was obtained both in racemic form or, if resolved, as the (+)-enantiomer which was shown to be identical to the natural product.

Total synthesis of ent-dioxepandehydrothyrsiferol via a bromonium-initiated epoxide-opening cascade.

Project description:In the first total synthesis of ent-dioxepandehydrothyrsiferol, the signature trans-anti-trans 7,7,6-fused tricyclic polyether framework was constructed in a single bromonium-initiated epoxide-opening cascade that incorporates both endo- and exo-selective epoxide openings, each directed by the substitution pattern of the epoxide (methyl groups). This study thus demonstrates the feasibility of a possible biogenesis.
