The marine pyrrole-imidazole alkaloid sventrin (1) and the hitherto unknown dehydrooroidin (3) have been synthesized stereoselectively via alkyne intermediates. The pathways start from a 2-azido-4-alkynylimidazole which can be chemo- and stereoselectively reduced to the corresponding amino alkene using NaAlH2(OCH2CH2OMe)2 (Red-Al) or, alternatively, to the amino alkyne. Selective removal of simultaneously present Boc or trityl protecting groups was possible employing either p-TsOH or acetic resp. formic acid.
已合成海洋吡咯咪唑生物碱sventrin(1)和迄今未知的脱氢顶咪唑(3),通过炔中间体进行立体选择性合成。这些途径始于2-叠氮-4-炔基咪唑,可以通过NaAlH2(OCH2CH2OMe)2(Red-Al)进行化学和立体选择性还原为相应的氨基烯,或者选择性地还原为氨基炔。利用p-TsOH或乙酸或甲酸可以选择性地去除同时存在的Boc或三苯甲基保护基。
