(-)-Secodaphniphylline (1) has been prepared by total synthesis. The early stages of the synthesis were an asymmetric version of the previously published synthesis of methyl homosecodaphniphyllate (2). The necessary chirality was secured by an asymmetric Michael addition reaction of the lithium enolate of the C2-symmetric amide 9 to alpha,beta-unsaturated ester 10 to give ester amide 12. The conversion of 12 into (-)-2 was modelled after the previously reported synthesis in the analogous racemic series, although there were quantitative differences in the reaction conditions required for some of the succeeding transformations of the relatively hindered 2,5-dimethylpyrrolidine amides. The (-)-2 produced in this synthesis was of 84% ee, which represents the enantioselectivity of the initial Michael addition. Recrystallization of this material provided (-)-2 of 90% ee. The required 2,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanecarboxylic acid chloride 5 was assembled in an eight-step synthesis starting with acid 18. The necessary chirality was acquired by an asymmetric reduction of acetylenic ketone 19 with the LiAlH4-Darvon alcohol complex. Alcohol 20, of 92% ee, was obtained and was isomerized to isomer 21 without loss of enantiomeric purity. Concomitant hydration of the triple bond, hydrolysis of the ketal, and cyclization of the resulting keto triol provided a 5:1 mixture of alcohols 23 and 24. After conversion to a similar mixture of methyl esters 25 and 26, the isomers were separated and the major carboxylic acid 27 was converted into acid chloride 5. Ester (-)-2 and acid chloride 5 were joined by a mixed Claisen condensation and the resulting diastereomeric beta-keto esters demethylated and decarboxylated by treatment with NaCN in hot DMSO to obtain (-)-secodaphniphylline (1). Although the two components in the Claisen reaction were enantiomerically enriched only to a modest extent (90% ee and 92% ee), the product alkaloid was > 99% ee.
(-)-Secodaphniphylline(1)已通过全合成制得。合成的早期阶段是之前报道的甲基同-sec-daphniphyllate(2)合成方法的不对称版本。所需的手性通过C2对称酰胺9的锂烯醇与α,β-不饱和酯10的不对称迈克尔加成反应获得,生成酯酰胺12。12向(-)-2的转化参考了之前报道的相同非对映异构系列中的合成方法,尽管在后续变换中,特别是对于相对受阻的2,5-二甲基吡咯烷酰胺,所需反应条件存在定量差异。在这种合成中获得的(-)-2的对映体过量(ee)为84%,这代表了初始迈克尔加成的对映选择性。对该材料的重结晶提供了90% ee的(-)-2。所需的2,8-二氧双环[3.2.1]辛烷羧酸氯化物5是通过从酸18开始的八步合成组装而成。所需的手性通过不对称还原乙炔酮19来获得,使用LiAlH4-Darvon醇复合物。获得的醇20具有92%的ee,并被异构化为等构体21而不损失对映体纯度。同时水合三键、裂解酮以及酮醇的环化产生5:1的醇23和24的混合物。在转化为甲基酯25和26的类似混合物后,将异构体分离,并将主要羧酸27转化为酸氯化物5。酯(-)-2和酸氯化物5通过混合Claisen凝缩连接,所得的对映异构β-酮酯在NaCN和高温DMSO处理下脱甲基化和脱羧化,获得(-)-secodaphniphylline(1)。尽管Claisen反应的两个组分仅具有适度的对映体过量(90% ee和92% ee),但所得生物碱的对映体纯度仍超过99%。
