A dipolar cycloaddition approach toward the kopsifoline alkaloid framework
摘要:
Using a metal-catalyzed domino reaction as the key step, the heterocyclic skeleton of the kopsifoline alkaloid family was constructed by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a carbonyl ylide dipole derived from a Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction of a diazo ketoester across the indole pi-bond. Ring opening of the resulting 1,3-dipolar cycloadduct followed by a reductive dehydroxylation step resulted in the formation of a critical silyl enol ether necessary for the final F-ring closure of the kopsifoline skeleton.

Cycloaddition Protocol for the Assembly of the Hexacyclic Framework Associated with the Kopsifoline Alkaloids
摘要:
An approach to the hexacyclic framework of the kopsifoline alkaloids has been developed and is based on a Rh(II)-catalyzed cyclization-cycloaddition cascade. The resulting [3+2]-cycloadduct was readily converted into the TBS enol ether 23. Oxidation of the primary alcohol present in 23 followed by reaction with CsF afforded compound 24 that contains the complete hexacyclic skeleton of the kopsifolines.
