Efficient Asymmetric Synthesis of Pumiliotoxin C via Intramolecular [4+2] Cycloaddition

An efficient asymmetric synthesis in nine steps of natural (−)‐pumiliotoxin C ( 1 ), a decahydroquinoline alkaloid found in the skin of Central American frog species, is presented. The enantiomerically pure starting material (S)‐norvalinol ( 3 ), obtained from commercial (S)‐norvaline, was cyclized in a one‐pot procedure to the tosylated aziridine 5 . Ring opening with propargylmagnesium bromide led to the acetylenic sulfonamide tosylamide 6 , free of the allenic isomer. Compound 6 was methylated on the acetylenic C‐atom, reduced, and deprotected with Na in liquid NH₃ to give the (E)‐configured unsaturated amine 8 , which was condensed with crotonaldehyde to the imine 9 and N‐acylated with isobutanoyl chloride to the key intermediate 2 . Intramolecular Diels‐Alder reaction furnished a diastereoisomeric mixture of N‐protected octahydroquinolines 10 . After catalytic hydrogenation and cleavage of the amide, natural 1 was obtained as the main product in 25% overall yield; 3.2% of its isomer 11 with the inverse configurations in position 4a, 5, and 8a was also isolated.     

Oxidative [3+2]Cycloaddition of Alkynylphosphonates with Heterocyclic N-Imines: Synthesis of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]Pyridine-3-phosphonates

A series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylphosphonates were prepared with moderate to good yields by the oxidative [3+2]cycloaddition of 2-subtituted ethynylphosphonates with in situ generated pyridinium-N-imines and their annulated analogs. 2-Aliphatic and 2-Ph acetylenes demonstrate low activity, and the corresponding pyrazolopyridines were achieved with a moderate yield in the presence of 10 mol% Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O. At the same time, tetraethyl ethynylbisphosphonate, diethyl 2-TMS- and 2-OPh-ethynylphosphonates possess much greater reactivity and the corresponding pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines, and their annulated derivatives were obtained with good to excellent yields without any catalyst. 2-Halogenated ethynylphosphonates also readily reacted with pyridinium-N-imines, forming complex mixtures containing poor amounts of 2-halogenated pyrazolopyridines.

Synthesis of new substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidines and pyrazolo[1,5-a]1,3,5-triazines

5-Substituted 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitriles 2a-d react with appropriate biselectrophilic reagents in the presence of (TEA) to give the substitution products pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines 4a-d, 6a-d and pyrazolo[1,5-a ]1,3,5-triazines 8a-d. Compounds 6a and 8a react with secondary amines to 10a-c and 11a-c. Treatment of 2a with malonodinitrile results in the substituted pyrazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine 16. Condensation of 2a, 2c and 2d with ethyli-dene-malodintriles leads to racemic dihydro-pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyr-imidines 18a-e. Reaction of diene 20 with the heterodienophile 21 leads to formation of Diels-Alder adduct 22.     

Organocatalytic Atroposelective Intramolecular [4+2] Cycloaddition: Synthesis of Axially Chiral Heterobiaryls

The enantioselective construction of axially chiral aryl‐naphthopyran skeletons was realized by organocatalytic atroposelective intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of in situ generated vinylidene ortho‐quinone methides, from 2‐ethynylphenol derivatives, with alkynes. Through this method, the heteroatropisomers were obtained with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Moreover, a speculative model of the stereochemical outcome is proposed based on preliminary mechanistic studies. The products having various functional groups can be easily transformed into valuable intermediates as either potential ligands or organocatalysts.     

Water-Mediated Selective Synthesis of Pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-ones and [1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-5(4H)-one via Copper-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions

It is notable that aqueous medium turned out to be crucial for the chemoselective formation of the title compounds. Compared with literature protocols, this new method showed advantages such as simple and sustainable procedure, commercially available starting materials, and convenient reuse of the reaction medium together with the copper catalyst.
