Nine-Step Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Minfiensine
摘要:
An enantioselective total synthesis of the Strychnos alkaloid (+)-minfiensine has been accomplished. Prominent features of this synthesis include (i) a new enantioselective organocatalytic Diels-Alder/amine cyclization sequence to build the central tetracyclic pyrroloindoline framework in four steps from commercial materials and (ii) a 6-exo-dig radical cyclization to forge the final piperidinyl ring system. This total synthesis of (+)-minfiensine was completed in nine chemical steps and 21% overall yield.

highly enantioselective total synthesis of the akuammiline alkaloid (-)-vincorine has been accomplished. A key element of the synthesis is a stereoselective organocatalytic Diels-Alder, iminium cyclization cascade sequence, which serves to construct the tetracyclic alkaloid core architecture in one step from simple achiral precursors. The challenging seven-membered azepanyl ring system is installed by way
