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.

Enzymatic resolution of (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-1-aminoindan-2-ol and (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-2-aminoindan-1-ol

Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PSL) efficiently catalyses the kinetic resolution of (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-1-aminoindan-2-ol through the O-acylation reaction of the corresponding N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivative using vinyl acetate as the acyl donor. In a similar way, cis-N-Cbz-2-aminoindan-1-ol is resolved when isopropenyl acetate is used as the acylating agent. The enantioselectivity of the reaction was lower for (±)-trans-N-Cbz-2-aminoindan-1-ol due to the different steric requirements for the two conformers of this substrate.
