- Total synthesis of suaveoline and norsuaveoline via intramolecular oxazole-olefin Diels-Alder reaction
-
Total synthesis of two Rauwolfia alkaloids, suaveoline (1) and norsuaveoline (2), has been achieved through a highly stereoselective route starting from l-tryptophan methyl ester (9) and exploiting the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of the oxazole-ol

- Facile Synthesis of Pyridines from Propargyl Amines: Concise Total Synthesis of Suaveoline Alkaloids
-
A general and efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of polysubstituted pyridines from propargyl amines and unsaturated carbonyl compounds through a tandem condensation/alkyne isomerization/6π 3-azatriene electrocyclization sequence. This process was found to be applicable to a wide range of readily available substrates (30 examples, up to 95 % yield) and could be readily performed on a preparative (20 g) scale. By taking advantage of this method for late-stage pyridine incorporation, we successfully completed the collective total synthesis of suveoline, norsuveoline, and macrophylline.

- Quick Access to Pyridines through 6π-3-Azatriene Electrocyclization: Concise Total Synthesis of Suaveoline Alkaloids
-
Pyridine is a prevalent structural heterocyclic motifs in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials. Several different methodologies have been developed for the synthesis of these kinds of molecules. However, a sustainable and efficient procedure for the synthesis of pyridines is still highly desirable. In this Synpacts article, we highlight our recent approach to the construction of highly substituted pyridines though a tandem condensation/alkyne isomerization/6π-3-azatriene electrocyclization sequence. The present protocol was used to synthesize a series of polysubstituted pyridines (30 examples) in moderate to good yields. The process also permitted the development of a concise strategy for collective total syntheses of suaveoline, norsuaveoline, and macrophylline.
