A Concise and Versatile Double Cyclization Strategy for Highly Stereoselective Synthesis and Novel Arylative Dimerization of Aspidosperma Alkaloids**

چکیده
The monoterpene indole alkaloids represent the largest family of alkaloid natural products whose more than 2,000 members display a broad range of chemical diversity and potent biological activity.1 The structural challenges presented by this family have long been a source of interest, resulting in the development of a variety of inventive synthetic strategies to access various family members. The biogenetically related natural alkaloids Nmethylaspidospermidine (1), N-methylquebrachamine (2), and tabernaebovine (3) represent the aspidosperma subfamily of monoterpene indole alkaloids (Figure 1).2-5 The dimeric alkaloid 3, isolated from Tabernaemontana bovina in 1998,2e has a fascinating molecular constitution that exhibits a unique C2–C15′ linkage between two pentacyclic aspidosperma skeletons. While elegant strategies for synthesis of other dimeric monoterpene indole alkaloids have been reported,5 no synthetic solution to the distinctive C2–C15′ union present in 3 exists. As an outgrowth of our laboratory's studies concerning electrophilic amide activation,6 we report a concise and convergent strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of alkaloids (–)-1, (+)-2, and dimeric (+)-dideepoxytabernaebovine (4).

We report an efficient and highly stereoselective strategy for the synthesis of Aspidosperma alkaloids based on the transannular cyclization of a chiral lactam precursor. Three new stereocenters are formed in this key step with excellent diastereoselectivity due to the conformational bias of the cyclization precursor, leading to a versatile pentacyclic intermediate. A subsequent stereoselective...

Concise and enantioselective total syntheses of (+)-naseseazines A and B are described. Our regioselective and directed dimerization of diketopiperazines provides their critical C3-C(sp(2)) linkages, an assembly with plausible biogenetic relevance. We revise the absolute stereochemistry of (+)-naseseazines A and B.

Indole alkaloids have attracted the attention of synthetic chemists because of their intriguing structural features and remarkable bioactivities. This interest is perhaps best represented by the Vinca alkaloid vinblastine (1; Scheme 1), isolated from Catharanthus roseus, which is currently among the foremost drugs used to combat cancer. However, de novo synthesis of novel vinblastine analogues ...
