Synthetic studies on lythraceae alkaloids. IV. Total synthesis of (.+-.)-methyldecinine.

Synthetic studies on pseudo-dimeric Lycopodium alkaloids: total synthesis of complanadine B.

Complanadines A and B (1 and 2, Scheme 1) are dimeric Lycopodium alkaloids from the lycodine family that possess significant activity for stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF) production in human glial cells. 2] As such, 1 and 2 are of interest as potential small-molecule leads for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer s disease, as well as adjuvants for the regeneratio...

Total synthesis and study of myrmicarin alkaloids.

The myrmicarins are a family of air- and temperature-sensitive alkaloids that possess unique structural features. Our concise enantioselective synthesis of the tricyclic myrmicarins enabled evaluation of a potentially biomimetic assembly of the complex members via direct dimerization of simpler structures. These studies revealed that myrmicarin 215B undergoes efficient and highly diastereoselec...

Enantioselective total synthesis of tricyclic myrmicarin alkaloids.

[reaction: see text] An enantioselective gram-scale synthesis of a key dihydroindolizine intermediate for the preparation of myrmicarin alkaloids is described. Key transformations in this convergent approach include a stereospecific palladium-catalyzed N-vinylation of a pyrrole with a vinyl triflate, a copper-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate reduction of a beta-pyrrolyl enoate, and a regios...

Synthetic studies towards the tunicamycins and analogues based on diazo chemistry. Total synthesis of tunicaminyl uracil.

A synthetic approach to the tunicamycins, a complex family of nucleosides with potent antibiotic and antiviral activities is reported based on diazo chemistry. The corresponding precursors for the synthesis of tunicaminyl uracil derivatives, the non-stabilized diazo derived from 13 and the aldehyde derivative of uridine, compound 4, were prepared efficiently from commercially available D-galact...
