Orthogonal protecting groups in the synthesis of tryptophanyl- hexahydropyrroloindoles
Ruiz-Sanchis, Pau,Savina, Svetlana A.,Acosta, Gerardo A.,Albericio, Fernando,Alvarez, Mercedes
, p. 67 - 73 (2012/01/15)
The synthesis of various polycyclic systems containing aC 3a-Ni bond between a hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole and an indole tryptophan is described here. A series of experiments were performed to determine the best combination of five orthogonal protecting groups and the best reaction conditions for formation of said bond, which is a common feature among many recently discovered marine natural products.
Concise total synthesis of (-)-calycanthine, (+)-chimonanthine, and (+)-folicanthine
Movassaghi, Mohammad,Schmidt, Michael A.
, p. 3725 - 3728 (2008/03/11)
Conjoined twins: An efficient and convergent strategy for the synthesis of the dimeric hexahydropyrroloindole alkaloids, (+)-chimonanthine, (+)-folicanthine, and (-)-calycanthine, is described. The simultaneous formation of the vicinal quaternary stereocenters by using a reductive dimerization reaction provides an access to the optically active key intermediate on a gram scale. (Chemical Equation Presented).
ENANTIOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF AMINO ACIDS: PREPARATION OF (R)- AND (S)-α-METHYLASPARTIC ACID FROM (S)-TRYPTOPHAN
Chan, Chat-On,Crich, David,Natarajan, Swaminathan
, p. 3405 - 3408 (2007/10/02)
The enantiospecific synthesis of both antipodes of α-methylaspartic acid from (S)-tryptophan is described with the key steps being alkylation of the hexahydropyrroloindole 4, oxidative degradation of indoles and, for the preparation of the (R)-isomer, Barton reductive decarboxylation.
