Photochemical Synthesis of Aporphines: (±)-Glaucine, (±)-Norglaucine and (±)-Dehydronorglaucine

Photochemical cyclization of 3 afforded 5, 4 and 8.5 on LAH reduction furnished (±)-glaucine (6) and on treatment with ethanolic HCl afforded (±)-norglaucine (7). 10 obtained by the photocyclization of 9 was converted into 7 and 11 via 12.     

Protoberberine ausReissert-Verbindungen, 4. Mitt. Eine neue Synthese des (±)-Alamaridins und des (±)-epi-Alamaridins

Summary A novel synthesis of 8-methylisoquino[2,1-b][2,7]naphthyridinium salts7 is reported using the intramolecular cyclization of the 1-substituted isoquinolines5 as the key step, which in turn are obtained by alkylation of theReissert compounds1. The salts7 can be reduced by NaBH₄ yielding the 8- and 8-methylstereomers (±)-alamaridine and (±)-epi-alamaridine9c and11c, respectively.

     

Facile Syntheses of (±)-Curcuphenol, (±)-Curcudiol, (±)-Curcuhydroquinone,and (±)-Curcuquinone

The syntheses of (±)-curcuphenol 1, (±)-curcudiol 2, (±)-curcuhydroquinone 3, and (±)-curcuquinone 4 have been achieved. The key steps involved in the syntheses were the Reformatsky reaction and hydrogenation reaction.     

Total synthesis of (±)-maistemonine, (±)-stemonamide, and (±)-isomaistemonine

A full account of the total synthesis of (±)-maistemonine, (±)-stemonamide, and (±)-isomaistemonine is presented. Two approaches have been developed to construct the basic pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepine core of the Stemona alkaloids, featuring a tandem semipinacol/Schmidt rearrangement of a secondary azide and a highly stereoselectively desymmetrizing intramolecular Schmidt reaction, respectively. To build the common spiro-γ-butyrolactone, a new protocol was carried out by utilizing an intramolecular ketone-ester condensation as the key transformation. The vicinal butyrolactone moiety of (±)-maistemonine was stereoselectively introduced via a one-pot procedure involving the epimerization at C-3 and carbonyl allylation/lactonization. Moreover, (±)-stemonamide was divergently synthesized from a common intermediate, and (±)-isomaistemonine was obtained via the epimerization of (±)-maistemonine at C-12.

Total synthesis of (±)-maistemonine and (±)-stemonamide

The first total synthesis of polycyclic Stemona alkaloid maistemonine has been achieved. The efficient approach features a stereoselective intramolecular Schmidt reaction, a ketone-ester condensation, and a Reformatsky reaction. Additionally, another Stemona alkaloid stemonamide was divergently synthesized from a common intermediate.
