Stereospecific Total Synthesis of the Indole Alkaloid Ervincidine. Establishment of the C-6 Hydroxyl Stereochemistry

چکیده
The total synthesis of the indole alkaloid ervincidine (3) is reported. This research provides a general entry into C-6 hydroxy-substituted indole alkaloids with either an α or a β configuration. This study corrects the errors in Glasby's book (Glasby, J. S. Encyclopedia of the Alkaloids; Plenum Press: New York, 1975) and Lounasmaa et al.'s review (Lounasmaa, M.; Hanhinen, P.; Westersund, M. In The Alkaloids; Cordell, G. A., Ed.; Academic Press: San Diego, CA, 1999; Vol. 52, pp 103-195) as well as clarifies the work of Yunusov et al. (Malikov, V. M.; Sharipov, M. R.; Yunusov, S. Yu. Khim. Prir. Soedin. 1972, 8, 760-761. Rakhimov, D. A.; Sharipov, M. R.; Aripov, Kh. N.; Malikov, V. M.; Shakirov, T. T.; Yunusov, S. Yu. Khim. Prir. Soedin. 1970, 6, 724-725). It establishes the correct absolute configuration of the C-6 hydroxyl function in ervincidine. This serves as a structure proof and corrects the misassigned structure reported in the literature.

The first total synthesis of malagashanine, a chloroquine potentiating indole alkaloid, is presented. A highly stereoselective cascade annulation reaction was developed to generate the tetracyclic core of the Malagasy alkaloids. This chemistry is likely to be broadly applicable to the synthesis of other members of this stereochemically unique family of natural products.
