Aza-analogues of podophyllotoxin were synthesized in two steps from N-substituted tetronamides. The acid-mediated benzhydrylation of N-substituted tetronamides with a suitably functionalized benzhydrol quantitatively afforded the cyclization precursors. The target pentacyclic 4-aza-2,3-didehydropodo-phyllotoxins were next obtained via an intramolecular copper-mediated Ullmann-type N-arylation.
通过两个步骤,从 N-取代的四酰胺中合成了 Podophyllotoxin 的氮杂类似物。酸介导的 N-取代四酰胺与适当官能化的二苯甲酰基苯甲基化反应定量地得到了环化前体。接下来,通过分子内
铜介导的乌尔曼型 N-芳基化反应,获得了目标五环 4-氮杂-2,3-二脱氢
吡咯烷毒素。
