甲烷在BaPrO3上的氧化偶联

以碱土金属Ba、Sr代替碱金属与氧化能力较强的Pr、Ce相匹配,可以得到稳定性、活性都更好的催化剂。对于Ba-Pr二元体系,组成为BaPrO_3者C_2的收率及选择性可达极大值,在1083 K及CH_4:O_2=5:1条件下,经100 h反应考察,始终保持恒定的反应性能:甲烷转化率为20％,C_2选择性可达57％。催化剂的反应性能与催化剂组成的关系表明,碱性与氧化能力之间有协同作用。XRD结果表明,Ba和Sr离子分别进入了PrO(1.8)和CeO_2的晶格,抑制其燃烧性能。动力学研究结果支持了这种推测:甲烷氧化偶联反应的控制步骤是甲烷分子在PrO_(1.8)相上的C-H键断裂。

Asymmetric Total Syntheses of Kopsia Indole Alkaloids

The asymmetric total syntheses of a group of structurally complex Kopsia alkaloids, (−)‐kopsine, (−)‐isokopsine, (+)‐methyl chanofruticosinate, (−)‐fruticosine, and (−)‐kopsanone, has been achieved. The key strategies for the construction of the molecular complexity in the targets included an asymmetric Tsuji–Trost rearrangement to set the first quaternary carbon center at C20, an intramolecular cyclopropanation by diazo decomposition to install the second and third quaternary carbon centers at C2 and C7, respectively, and a SmI₂‐promoted acyloin condensation to assemble the isokopsine core. A radical decarboxylation of an isokopsine‐type intermediate results in a thermodynamic partial rearrangement to give N‐decarbomethoxyisokopsine and N‐decarbomethoxykopsine, two key intermediates for the syntheses of Kopsia alkaloids with different subtype core structures.     

Bioinspired Transformations Using Strictosidine Aglycones: Divergent Total Syntheses of Monoterpenoid Indole Alkaloids in the Early Stage of Biosynthesis

A series of bioinspired transformations that are applied to convert strictosidine aglycones into monoterpenoid indole alkaloids is reported. The highly reactive key intermediates, strictosidine aglycones, were prepared in situ by simple removal of a silyl protecting group from the silyl ether derivatives, and converted selectively via bioinspired transformations under substrate control into heteroyohimbine- and corynantheine-type, and akagerine and naucleaoral related alkaloids. Thus, concise, divergent total syntheses of 13 monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, (−)-cathenamine, (−)-tetrahydroalstonine, (+)-dihydrocorynantheine, (−)-corynantheidine, (−)-akagerine, (−)-dihydrocycloakagerine, (−)-naucleaoral B, (+)-naucleidinal, (−)-naucleofficines D and III, (−)-nauclefiline, and (−)-naucleamides A and E, were accomplished in fewer than 13 steps.     

A Divergent Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Post-Iboga Indole Alkaloids

Divergent enantioselective total syntheses of five naturally occurring post-iboga indole alkaloids, dippinine B and C, 10,11-demethoxychippiine, 3-O-methyl-10,11-demethoxychippiine, and 3-hydroxy-3,4-secocoronaridine, as well as the two analogues 11-demethoxydippinine A and D, are presented for the first time. The enantioenriched aza[3.3.1]-bridged cycle, a common core intermediate to the target molecules, was constructed through an asymmetric phase-transfer-catalyzed Michael/aldol cascade reaction. The challenging azepane ring fused around the indole ring and the [3.3.1]-bridged cycle were installed through an intramolecular S_N2′-type reaction. These cyclization strategies enabled rapid construction of the [6.5.6.6.7]-pentacyclic core at an early stage. Highlights of the late-stage synthetic steps include a Pd-catalyzed Stille coupling and a highly stereoselective catalyst-controlled hydrogenation to incorporate the side chain at C₂₀ with both R and S configurations in the natural products.     

Eight‐Step Total Synthesis of Phalarine by Bioinspired Oxidative Coupling of Indole and Phenol

Application of this chemistry allows for an eight‐step total synthesis of phalarine from commercially available tryptamine.

Total Synthesis of Aspidosperma and Strychnos Alkaloids through Indole Dearomatization

Monoterpenoid indole alkaloids are the major class of tryptamine-derived alkaloids found in nature. Together with their structural complexity, this has attracted great interest from synthetic organic chemists. In this Review, the syntheses of Aspidosperma and Strychnos alkaloids through dearomatization of indoles are discussed.     

Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Indole Alkaloids Containing an Indoline Spiroaminal Framework

The total synthesis of the indole alkaloids, neoxaline, oxaline and meleagrin A, all containing a unique indoline spiroaminal framework, was accomplished through the stereoselective introduction of a reverse prenyl group to the congested benzylic carbon of furoindoline, a two‐pot transformation of indoline (containing three nitrogen atoms at appropriate positions) to the featured indoline spiroaminal framework, and elimination of carbonate assisted by the adjacent imidazole moiety to construct the (E)‐dehydrohistidine. The absolute stereochemistry of neoxaline was elucidated through our total synthesis. In addition, we evaluated the bioactivity, especially the anti‐infectious properties, of neoxaline and oxaline, and of some synthetic intermediates.     

Biosynthesis of Complex Indole Alkaloids: Elucidation of the Concise Pathway of Okaramines

The okaramines are a class of complex indole alkaloids isolated from Penicillium and Aspergillus species. Their potent insecticidal activity arises from selectively activating glutamate‐gated chloride channels (GluCls) in invertebrates, not affecting human ligand‐gated anion channels. Okaramines B ( 1 ) and D ( 2 ) contain a polycyclic skeleton, including an azocine ring and an unprecedented 2‐dimethyl‐3‐methyl‐azetidine ring. Owing to their complex scaffold, okaramines have inspired many total synthesis efforts, but the enzymology of the okaramine biosynthetic pathway remains unexplored. Here, we identified and characterized the biosynthetic gene cluster (oka ) of 1 and 2 , then elucidated the pathway with target gene inactivation, heterologous reconstitution, and biochemical characterization. Notably, we characterized an α‐ketoglutarate‐dependent non‐heme Fe^II dioxygenase that forged the azetidine ring on the okaramine skeleton.
