The first total synthesis of the 7,7-dimethylaporphinoid, 4,5-didehydroguadiscine (6), originally isolated from the stems and roots of Hornschuchia oblique (Annonaceae), was achieved by the condensation of homopiperonylamine (7) with an α,α-dimethylphenylacetic acid derivative (8) and subsequent Pschorr reaction of the resulting benzylisoquinoline intermediate (22). The reported 13C NMR data were partially revised on the basis of the analysis of HMBC spectra measured under different conditions. The melanogenesis inhibitory activity (IC50 = 4.7 μM) of 6 was 40 times stronger than that of arbutin (174 μM), which was used as reference standard. Furthermore, 6 was the most potent natural melanogenesis inhibitor within this class of compounds. (Chemical Equation Presented).

Iron(II) bromide catalyzes the transformation of ortho-substituted aryl azides into 2,3-disubstituted indoles through a tandem ethereal C-H bond amination [1,2]-shift reaction. The preference for the 1,2-shift component of the tandem reaction was established to be Me 1 2 Ph.
