- Application of Electrocyclic Ring-Opening and Desymmetrizing Nucleophilic Trappings of meso-6,6-Dibromobicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes to Total Syntheses of Crinine and Haemanthamine Alkaloids
-
The thermally induced electrocyclic ring-opening of C2-symmetric (meso) 6,6-dibromobicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes such as 10 in the presence of the chiral, nonracemic 1°-amine 28 afforded a ca. 1:1 mixture of the diastereoisomeric and chromatographically separable 1-amino-2-bromo-2-cyclohexenes 37 (42%) and 38 (45%). Each of these was elaborated over 13 steps, including Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, radical cyclization, and Pictet-Spengler reactions, into (-)- or (+)-crinane (1 or ent-1, respectively). Variations on these protocols were applied to the total syntheses of (+)- and (-)-11-hydroxyvattitine [(+)- and (-)-3], (+)- and (-)-bulbispermine [(+)- and (-)-4], (+)- and (-)-haemanthamine [(+)- and (-)-5], (+)- and (-)-pretazettine [(+)- and (-)-6], and (+)- and (-)-tazettine [(+)- and (-)-7] as well as (±)-hamayne [(±)-8] and (±)-apohaemanthamine [(±)-9]. A number of these alkaloids were synthesized for the first time.

Total syntheses of (±)-tazettine (1) and (±)-6a-epipretazettine (3), which proceed in 11 steps from the known enal 7(14 steps from commercially available p-methoxybenzyl alcohol), are reported. The pivotal step is the palladium-catalyzed cyclization of alkenyl aryl iodide 13, which proceeded in excellent yield (63-90%) and with high stereoinduction (>20:1) to form 14.

- Phenolic Oxidative Coupling with Hypervalent Iodine. A Synthesis of 6a-Epipretazettine
-
6a-Epipretazettine was synthesized in seven steps from piperonal and synephrine.Intramolecular, monophenolic, oxidative coupling of a functionalized benzylic acetal, employing benzene as oxidant, gave a spirodienone in 13 percent yield.Subsequent deprotection of the secondary amine was followed by spontaneous closure to a tetracyclic pyrrolidine possessing an all-cis ring fusion.This substance was reduced with diisobutylaluminum hydride, and the resulting alcohol was transformed, via methanolysis of the corresponding mesylate, to O-methyl-6a-epipretazettine.Acidic hydrolysis of the latter yielded 6a-epipretazettine, identical with material previously obtained by Danishefsky.
