Total synthesis of Bao Gong Teng A, a natural antiglaucoma compound
摘要:
The total synthesis of Bao Gong Tong A (1), a novel natural product which shows antiglaucoma properties is described. The key step involves the highly regioselective and somewhat stereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of acrylonitrile to N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyridinium bromide 2 to give the easily separable crystalline exo and endo diastereomers 3x and 3n in yields of 54% and 36%, respectively. Catalytic hydrogenation of the enone of 3x followed by reduction with sodium borohydride gave, via the saturated ketone 4, the exo alcohol 5x in 54% overall yield along with a small amount of the endo stereoisomer 5n. Protection of the alcohol followed by addition of methyl Grignard produced, after hydrolysis of the intermediate imine and the silyl other, the desired 6-exo-acetyl-8-benzyl-8-azabicyclo [3.2.1]octan-2-exo-ol (8) in 71 % yield. The synthesis of Bao Gong Teng A (1) was completed by first effecting a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 8 to give N-benzyl Bao Gong Teng A (9) (54% yield) and then cleaving the N-benzyl group by hydrogenolysis to produce 1 in 74% yield, thereby ending an eight-step synthesis of Bao Gong Teng A (1) in 8% overall yield from readily available starting materials.

Bao Gong Teng A, an optically active tropane alkaloid with hypotensive and miotic activity isolated from the Chinese herb Erycibe obtusifolia Benth, was synthesized by an "organometallic Chiron" strategy in which single enantiomers of TpMo(CO)(2)(eta(3)-pyriclinyl) complexes are produced in quantity and then elaborated easily and efficiently to generate, after demetalation, highly enantiopure advanced synthetic intermediates possessing the tropane core.
