(Equation presented) Novel 6-substituted lavendamycins have been synthesized for the first time. The key step in these syntheses is a Pictet-Spengler condensation (Scheme 1). Efficient methods for the synthesis of each compound, including a novel reaction for the facile introduction of alkylamino groups at the C-6 position of the lavendamycin system, are discussed. Possible mechanisms for these reactions are also presented.

Lavendamycin methyl ester (2), an antitumor antibiotic, was synthesized by a practical and short route in an excellent overall yield of 33% from known starting materials. Pictet-Spengler condensation of 7-acetamido-2-formylquinoline-5,8-dione (4) with the methyl ester of (2RS,3SR)-β-methyltryptophan (5) followed by hydrolysis afforded 2. Aldehyde 4 was prepared by the oxidation of 7-acetamido-2-methylquinoline-5,8-dione (9). Dione 9 was obtained via the Diels-Alder condensation of the novel 1-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-2-methyl-1-aza-1,3-butadiene (7) with 2-acetamido-6-bromobenzene-1,4-dione (8).

The novel 7-(N-formyl-, 7-(N-acetyl-, and 7-(N-isobutyrylamino)-2-methylquinoline-5,8-diones were synthesized in excellent overall yields in three steps via the nitration of the commercially available 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline followed by a reduction-acylation step and then oxidation. Acid hydrolysis of 7-(N-acetylamino)-2-methylquinoline-5,8-dione (14a) afforded the novel 7-aminoquinoline-5,8-dione 7 in excellent yields. Due to our efficient preparation of dione 14a, we now report a short and practical method for the total synthesis of the potent antitumor agent lavendamycin methyl ester (1b) with an excellent overall yield.
