NOVEL APPROACHES TO STRYCHNOS AND ASPIDOSPERMA ALKALOIDSZhao, Senzhi January 2015 (has links)
All Strychnos and Aspidosperma alkaloids possess a core pyrrolo[2,3-d]carbazole ABCE tetracycle. In order to develop an efficient and divergent methodology for the synthesis of Strychnos alkaloids, a streamlined synthetic sequence to the ABCE tetracycle has been developed. It features a Mitsunobu activation of an N-hydroxyethyl gramine intermediate and subsequent intramolecular aza-Baylis-Hillman reaction. This method was first applied in the total synthesis of (±)-alstolucine B. Additional key steps in the synthesis included (1) chemoselective intermolecular and intramolecular Michael additions and (2) a Swern indoline oxidation. The second application of this method was in the first total synthesis of (-)-melotenine A, a novel rearranged Aspidosperma alkaloid with potent biological activity. Additional key steps in the synthesis included (1) a Piers annulation of a vinyl iodide and a methyl ketone to prepare the D ring and (2) a site-selective intermolecular vinylogous aldol reaction / Chemistry
