Highly functionalized donor–acceptor cyclopropanes applied toward the synthesis of the Melodinus alkaloids
摘要:
A series of highly substituted vinylcyclopropanes were prepared and examined as reaction partners in a palladium-catalyzed (3+2) cycloaddition with nitrostyrenes. Described herein are our efforts to synthesize an elusive 1,1-divinylcyclopropane by several distinct approaches, and to apply surrogates of this fragment toward the synthesis of the Melodious alkaloids.

A radical [3 + 2]-divinylcyclopropane annulation cascade has been extended to encompass five D-ring variants of the meloscine/epimeloscine core structure. Representative ABCD tetracyclic intermediates were further elaborated with novel substituted E-rings through subsequent transformations of advanced intermediates that provided opportunities for late-stage variation of the B-ring (lactam) N-substituents which were also developed.

The first stereoselective synthesis of epimeloscine has been accomplished in 13 total steps with a longest linear sequence of 10 steps. The core of the synthesis takes only five steps, the key ones being acylation, stereoselective tandem radical cyclization of a divinylcyclopropane to make two rings, and group-selective ring-closing metathesis of the resulting divinylcyclopentane to make the last ring.
