Short synthesis of stenusine and norstenusine, two spreading alkaloids from Stenus beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
摘要:
Each of the both spreading alkaloids stenusine and norstenusine could be synthesized starting from commercially available 3-picoline in a two-step synthesis in yields of 74% and 67% in gram scale. The stereoisomeric ratio of the synthesized (+)-stenusine is similar to that of stenusine from Stenus comma. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

All the stereoisomers of stenusine (1) and norstenusine (21) have been efficiently synthesized by the asymmetrichydrogenation of pyridines. The (2R,3S)- and (2R,3R)-isomers of 1, that are difficult to prepare, have been synthesized for the first time using a chemoenzymatic approach in eight steps with an 8 % total yield. All the target compounds were obtained in good stereochemical purity by using

The enantioselective total synthesis of two of the four possible stereoisomers of stenusine (1), the spreading agent of the beetle Stenus comma, is described. The silyl ether-substituted aldehyde SAMP hydrazone 2 was alkylated with (S)-1-bromo-2-methylbutane (3) yielding the hydrazone 4 in high diastereomeric purity (de >95 %). By several steps including the reduction of the hydrazone functionality and the cleavage of the N-N bond of the intermediates, 4 was converted into the BOC-protected amino alcohol 6. Subsequent cyclization of 6 afforded the (S,S) diastereomer of stenusine with 96.6 % de, >99.9 % ee, and in 11.3 % overall yield. Repetition of this synthesis using the aldehyde RAMP hydrazone (R)-2 as the starting material produced (SR)-1 with 95.0 % de, >99 % ee, and in 8.2 % overall yield. The synthetic samples of 1 were employed to investigate the stereochemistry of natural stenusine by means of GC analysis on both a chiral and an achiral, stationary phase. As a result of these studies natural stenusine was found to be a mixture of all four stereoisomers in a ratio of (S,S)/(SR)/(RR)/(R:S) = 43:40:13:4.
