Investigations on the Reactivity of Fascaplysin, Part II, General Stability Considerations and Products Formed with Nucleophiles
摘要:
Reversible deprotonation of fascaplysin (1) was achieved with non-nucleophilic bases (Scheme 1). Under basic aqueous conditions, opening of ring D of 1 occurred, yielding zwitter-ionic reticulatine 2a. whereas. in a methoxide-containing MeOH solution, an unexpected addition of three molecules of MeOH to the pyridinium ring produced an isomer mixture 3 of a trimethoxy-substituted compound (Scheme 2). Transformation of the keto group of 1 to the oxime JA took place in the presence of pyridine as base (Scheme 3). Grignard and alkyllithium reagents added as expected to the keto group of 1. providing tertiary alcohols 5 and 6 (Scheme 4).
