A Short Total Synthesis of (±)-Epimeloscine and (±)-Meloscine Enabled by a Cascade Radical Annulation of a Divinylcyclopropane
摘要:
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.

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.
