Asymmetric synthesis of indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidin-2-ones - congeners to yohimbine-type alkaloids
摘要:
Schiff bases derived from tryptophan methyl ester and tryptamine react with Danishefkys diene in the presence of ZnCl2 to give enaminones which are subsequently transformed into indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidin-2-ones by acid-catalyzed cyclization. These tetracyclic aminoketones serve as viable intermediates in the construction of complex alkaloids, e. g. reserpine and deserpidine, and analogues thereof.

demonstrates the first zeolite‐catalyzed synthesis of piperidine derivatives, including peptidomimetics and indoloquinolizidine alkaloids. The approach developed utilizes a highly effective one‐pot reaction cascade, through imine formation and imino‐Diels–Alderreactions, promoted by scandium‐loaded zeolites as a heterogeneouscatalyst. The methodology described benefits from very low catalyst loadings (≤5 mol %
