DDQ-mediated Direct Intramolecular-Dehydrogenative-Coupling (IDC): Expeditious Approach to the Tetracyclic Core of Ergot Alkaloids
摘要:
An efficient route to 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the pseudobenzylic position has been developed via a DDQ-mediated Intramolecular-Dehydrogenative-Coupling (IDC). The methodology involves a one-pot C-alkylation of beta-N-arylamido esters (7) concomitant with dehydrogenative-coupling in the presence of stoichiometric amount of DDQ. A tentative mechanistic route has been proposed for the oxidative coupling. The methodology provides a two-step entry to the ergoline structure of ergot alkaloids.

The intramolecular C(sp3)–H/C(sp2)–H cross-coupling of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been achieved through Cp2Fe-catalyzed electrochemical oxidation. The key to the success of these dehydrogenative cyclization reactions is the selective activation of the acidic α-C–H bond of the 1,3-dicarbonyl moiety to generate a carbon-centered radical.

An intramolecular-dehydrogenative-coupling (IDC) using "transition-metal-free" oxidation conditions has been achieved to synthesize a variety of 2-oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center at the benzylic position. The methodology involves a one-pot C-alkylation of beta-N-arylamido esters (3, 6) with alkyl halides using potassium tert-butoxide concomitant with a dehydrogenative coupling. A radical-mediated pathway has been tentatively proposed for the oxidative process.
