A new process for the stereospecific synthesis of alkaloids of the vinblastine and vincristine type including the synthesis of vinblastine and vincristine as well novel alkaloids which are active as anti-tumor agents.
The Pictet–Spengler type condensation of tryptamine derivatives and aldehydes or ketones is a classic reaction, and has been previously applied to assemble indole-annulated 5-, 6- and 8-membered heterocyclic rings. In this work, we further expand the synthetic scope of this reaction to the 7-membered azepino[4,5-b]indole skeleton through the direct C–H functionalization of 2-alkyl tryptamines, in which
Using our previously reported convergent synthetic strategy, secondary amine 6 and aldehyde 9 reacted to give tetracyclic esters 10 and 11, which readily led to pentacyclic lactams 14-16. Selective reduction of these products gave (+/-)-pseudovincadifformine (4), (+/-)-20-epipseudovincadifformine (5), and (+/-)-14-epipseudovincadifformine (20). Aldehyde 23 was also prepared and could be directly used for synthesizing (+/-)-20-epipseudovincadifformine (5). The introduction of the double bond into ring D of the pseudoaspidospermane skeleton was successfully achieved to obtain 21-oxopseudotabersonine (30).
