Total Synthesis of (-)-Carinatine A and (+)-Lycopladine A

An efficient synthesis of two Lycopodium alkaloids, (-)-carinatine A and (+)-lycopladine A, is achieved in eight steps. The synthesis features an intramolecular aldol reaction for assembling the 6,5-fused ring system, a subsequent Tsuji-Trost allylation for generating a quarternary carbon center, and a 6π-electrocyclization to form the pyridine ring.

Bioinspired Diversification Approach Toward the Total Synthesis of Lycodine-Type Alkaloids

Nitrogen heterocycles (azacycles) are common structural motifs in numerous pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. Many powerful methods have been developed and continue to be advanced for the selective installation and modification of nitrogen heterocycles through C-H functionalization and C-C cleavage approaches, revealing new strategies for the synthesis of targets containing these structural entities. Here, we report the first total syntheses of the lycodine-type Lycopodium alkaloids casuarinine H, lycoplatyrine B, lycoplatyrine A, and lycopladine F as well as the total synthesis of 8,15-dihydrohuperzine A through bioinspired late-stage diversification of a readily accessible common precursor, N-desmethyl-β-obscurine. Key steps in the syntheses include oxidative C-C bond cleavage of a piperidine ring in the core structure of the obscurine intermediate and site-selective C-H borylation of a pyridine nucleus to enable cross-coupling reactions.

The first asymmetric total synthesis of lycoposerramine-R, a Lycopodium alkaloid possessing a novel skeleton, was accomplished by a strategy featuring the stereoselective intramolecular aldol cyclization giving a cis-fused 5/6 bicyclic skeleton and a new method for the construction of the pyridone ring via the aza-Wittig reaction.

Syntheses of (+)-complanadine A and lycodine derivatives by regioselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions

The dimeric alkaloid complanadine A has shown promise in regenerative science, promoting neuronal growth by inducing the secretion of growth factors from glial cells. Through the use of tandem, cobalt-mediated [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions, two synthetic routes have been developed with different sequences for the formation of the unsymmetric bipyridyl core. The regioselective formation of each of the pyridines was achieved based on the inherent selectivity of the molecules or by reversing the regioselectivity through the addition of Lewis bases. This strategy has been successfully employed to provide laboratory access to complanadine A as well as structurally related compounds possessing the lycodine core.

A new approach to the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane framework of huperzine A-like molecules via palladium-catalyzed intramolecular γ-arylation

In our synthetic studies toward huperzine A, a diastereoselective α′-alkylation of the α-amido-γ-methyl hexenone 4 was realized through a dianion intermediate which significantly enhanced the reactivity. Under the attempted Heck reaction conditions, an unexpected and unprecedented palladium-catalyzed intramolecular γ-arylation of 3 was observed, which generated 18 with bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane framework in satisfactory yield.

Epoxidation of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones Using Hydrogen Peroxide in the Presence of Basic Hydrotalcite Catalysts

The basic layered hydrotalcites have been used as catalysts for the epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones in heterogeneous reaction media using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. A wide variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones were oxidized to the corresponding epoxyketones in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. For example, 2-cyclohexen-1-one gave 2,3-epoxycyclohexanone in 91% yield at 40°C for 5 h with high efficiency in hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic activity of the hydrotalcites increased as the basicity of their surfaces increased. In the case of the epoxidation of less reactive substrates, adding a cationic surfactant such as n-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTMAB) to the above oxidation system accelerated the epoxidation reaction. These hydrotalcite catalysts were easily separated from the reaction mixture and were reusable.
