An oxidative coupling for the synthesis of arylated quaternary stereocentres and its application in the total synthesis of powelline and buphanidrine
摘要:
Catechol derivatives directly bonded to all-carbon quaternary stereocentres are prevalent in nature. An oxidative coupling strategy for the synthesis of this motif is described. Pivoting on the base-catalysed Michael addition of carbon-centred pro-nucleophiles to in situ generated ortho-benzoquinones, the method is broad in scope, high yielding and provides remarkably simple access to this challenging motif. The application of this methodology in the total synthesis of the crinane-type amaryllidaceae alkaloids (+/-)-powelline and (+/-)-buphanidrine is demonstrated and our efforts towards an enantioselective synthesis described.

A broadly applicable oxidative coupling strategy of 3-substituted catechols and carbon-centered pro-nucleophiles for the construction of arylated quaternary stereogenic centers has been developed. Pivoting on a base-catalyzed addition of a carbon-centered acid to an in situ generated o-benzoquinone, the method is general and atom-economical and provides remarkably efficient access to one of the most challenging structural motifs. Furthermore, use of chiral bifunctional organocatalysts allows the process to be rendered asymmetric (up to 81% ee).
