A One-Pot Bicycloannulation Method for the Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinoline Systems
摘要:
A highly effective method for the synthesis of the core indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidine skeleton found in yohimbine is described. The reaction of N-monosubstituted thioamides with bromoalkenoyl chlorides furnishes thioisomunchnones as transient 1,3-dipoles that undergo ready intramolecular cycloaddition across the tethered pi-bond to give thio-bicycloannulated products in a one-pot operation. The stereochemical outcome of the intramolecular reaction is the consequence of an endo cycloaddition of the neighboring-bond across the transient thioisomunchnone dipole. A major limitation of the method is that when a hydrogen is present in the alpha-position of the thioamide the initially formed thio-N-acyliminium ion undergoes proton loss to produce a S ,N-ketene acetal at a faster rate than dipole formation. Treatment of tetrahydro-beta-carboline-1-thione with 2-bromooct-7-enoyl chloride followed by reductive removal of sulfur from the cycloadduct resulted in the formation of (+/-)-alloyahimbanone. Attempts to cycloadd the thioisomunchnone dipole across several nucleophilic-bonds failed, and instead, products derived from cyclization of the pi-bond onto the initially formed thio-N-acyliminium ion were formed. The resulting N,S-ketals were further converted into several tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids in good yield.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing optically active carbonyl compounds by asymmetrically hydrogenating α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of optically active transition metal catalysts which are soluble in the reaction mixture and have at least one carbon monoxide ligand. The present invention especially relates to a process for preparing optically active aldehydes or ketones, in particular citronellal, by asymmetrically hydrogenating the corresponding optically active α,β-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones.
