Synthesis of some carbazolequinone alkaloids and their analogues. Facile palladium-assisted intramolecular ring closure of arylamino-1,4-benzoquinones to carbazole-1,4-quinones.
Carbazoloquinone alkaloids are of great interest as privileged structures for anticancer drug molecules. The purpose of this study was to investigate the structure-activity relationships of carbazoloquinone derivatives as anticancer agents. A series of carbazoloquinones including murrayaquinone A, koeniginequinones A and B, and related analogues were therefore prepared. Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular
convenient synthesis of carbazole-1,4-quinone alkaloid koeniginequinones A and B using a tandem ring-closing metathesis with the dehydrogenation reaction sequence under an O2 atmosphere as an important step. Using this method, carbazole-1,4-quinones substituted at the 5-, 6-, 7-, and/or 8-positions have been synthesized. Moreover, 24 compounds, including koeniginequinones A and B, have been evaluated for

direct oxidation of the bromo-derived Fischer–Borsche oxo-ring leading to carbazolequinone has been developed by usingmoleculariodine. This unprecedented transformation has been used for the modular synthesis of the anti-cardiotonic agent murrayaquinone. Furthermore, the present method has been generalized to a broad range of functional groups, with good to excellent yield.
