Schulzeines B (2) and C (3) were synthesized by a convergent strategy using epimeric tricyclic lactam building blocks, 4 and 5, and the C28 fatty acid side chain 6. Syntheses of tricyclic lactams (4/5) were achieved by Bischler-Napieralski reaction. Sharpless asymmetric dihy-droxylation and BINAL-H-mediated asymmetric reduction of an enone was employed to prepare the key fatty acid side chain 6. The spectral as well as analytical data of 2 and 3 were in good agreement with the reported data for the natural products, thus confirming their assigned structures.
A new approach to the C28 fatty acid chain of the marine natural products schulzeines B and C: a concise diastereoselective total synthesis of(−)-schulzeine B
the marine natural products schulzeines B and C was established based on the l-tartaric acid derived C4 chiron 11 via successive 1,4-bis-chain elongation reactions and catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation. The chiral tricyclic core 8 was constructed via a diastereoselective Pictet–Spengler cyclization reaction (dr = 89:11) of the l-glutamic acid derived precursor 13. On this basis, a concise total synthesis

Formal enantioselective total synthesis of schulzeines A-C was accomplished, featuring highly efficient Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination using novel diphosphonite ligands (BOPs) to provide 1-vinyltetrahydroisoquinoline key intermediates, as well as Ru-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis reaction to construct the key tricyclic cores in enantiopure form with correct absolute configurations.
