Synthesis of phenanthridine skeletal Amaryllidaceae alkaloids

Strategies for the synthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, including crinasiadine, trisphaeridine, bicolorine, N-methylcrinasiadine, 5,6-dihydrobicolorine, galanthindole, lycosinine A and lycosinine B were reported. Investigation of optionally synthetic routes to approach bicolorine, 5,6-dihydrobicolorine, trisphaeridine and N-methylcrinasiadine were demonstrated as well. In addition, three structurally related alkaloids galanthindole, lycosinine A and lycosinine B were concisely prepared by using Suzuki coupling reaction as the key step.

Design and enantioselective synthesis of 3-(α-acrylic acid) benzoxaboroles to combat carbapenemase resistance

Chiral 3-substituted benzoxaboroles were designed as carbapenemase inhibitors and efficiently synthesisedviaasymmetric Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction. Some of the benzoxaboroles were potent inhibitors of clinically relevant carbapenemases and restored the activity of meropenem in bacteria harbouring these enzymes. Crystallographic analyses validate the proposed mechanism of binding to carbapenemases,i.e.in a manner relating to their antibiotic substrates. The results illustrate how combining a structure-based design approach with asymmetric catalysis can efficiently lead to potent β-lactamase inhibitors and provide a starting point to develop drugs combatting carbapenemases.

Progress toward the total synthesis of 9β-hydroxyvertine: Construction of an advanced quinolizidine intermediate

Progress toward the total synthesis of 9β-hydroxyvertine 2 is described. Our approach involves a Petasis borono-Mannich reaction to assemble a key intermediate A, securing the correct configuration at H-9 and H-10 in the final targeted molecule. Subsequen

Copper-Catalyzed Annulation: A Method for the Systematic Synthesis of Phenanthridinium Bromide

A novel procedure for the Cu-catalyzed systematic synthesis of phenanthridinium bromide is reported. This transformation was achieved with direct construction of central pyridinium core by using an in situ formed biaryl imine as a substrate. Tolerance of a very wide variety of N-substituents is indicated; this has never previously been disclosed by other reports. Application of this method to synthesis of the natural alkaloid bicolorine, and its derivatives, was also carried out in only three synthetic steps from commercially available compounds.

Formal Ir-Catalyzed Ligand-Enabled Ortho and Meta Borylation of Aromatic Aldehydes via in Situ-Generated Imines

The ligand-enabled development of ortho and meta C-H borylation of aromatic aldehydes is reported. It was envisaged that while ortho borylation could be achieved using tert-butylamine as the traceless protecting/directing group, meta borylation proceeds via an electrostatic interaction and a secondary interaction between the ligand of the catalyst and the substrate. These ligand-substrate electrostatic interactions and secondary B-N interactions provide an unprecedented controlling factor for meta-selective C-H activation/borylation.

Synthesis of isohasubanan alkaloids via enantioselective ketone allylation and discovery of an unexpected rearrangement

A synthesis of the hasubanan alkaloids hasubanonine, runanine, and aknadinine via a unified route was attempted. Construction of key phenanthrene intermediates by a Suzuki coupling-Wittig olefination-ring-closing metathesis sequence allowed a convergent a
