Applications of Vinylogous Mannich Reactions. Asymmetric Synthesis of the Heteroyohimboid Alkaloids (-)-Ajmalicine, (+)-19-epi-Ajmalicine, and (-)-Tetrahydroalstonine
摘要:
The vinylogous Mannich additions of 1-[(trialkylsilyl)oxy]butadienes to the acyl iminium salt derived from 7 proceeded with a modest degree of stereoselectivity to give a mixture (1.8:1) of 8 and 9. The triene 8 underwent an intramolecular hetero Diels-Alder reaction to give the pentacyclic intermediate 10. Decarboxylation of 10 according to the Barton protocol led to 13, which was then elaborated to (-)-tetrahydroalstonine (1) by a straightforward sequence of reactions. This asymmetric synthesis of 1 required only 10 steps from readily available L-tryptophan. On the other hand, the related vinylogous Mannich addition of a vinyl ketene acetals to 16 were highly stereoselective giving the corresponding trans-substituted hydrocarboline as the only detectable product. Subsequent reaction of this adduct with methyl vinyl ketone followed by cyclization of the intermediate 18 gave the key tetracyclic intermediate 19. Removal of the carboxyl group from the C(5) position of 19 following the Barton procedure gave the ketone 20, which was converted into (-)-ajmalicine (2) in three steps by a known procedure. Alternatively, hydride reduction of the tetracyclic amine 19 gave the alcohol 22, which was subjected to a modified Mitsunobu reaction; selective hydrolysis of the intermediate triester led to the lactone 24. Radical decarboxylation via the Barton procedure gave an intermediate lactone that was converted into (+)-19-epi-ajmalicine (3) in two steps. Removal of the carboxyl presented pathways to both (-)-ajmalicine (2) and (+)-19-epi-ajmalicine (3). Thus, the asymmetric syntheses of 2 and 3 were completed by concise sequences of reactions requiring only 11 and 13 steps, respectively, from D-tryptophan.
