Diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler Reactions of L-(Boc)Phenylalaninal and L-(Boc)Prolinal: Biomimetic Syntheses of Eudistomin T and (-)-Woodinine

The diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler reaction of L-(Boc)phenylalaninal with tryptamine and the elaboration of this intermediate to the antibacterial compound eudistomin T and analogues of the antileukaemic compound eudistomidin B are described.We also report an efficient synthesis of the naturally occuring alkaloid (-)-woodinine from L-(Boc)prolinal and 5-bromotryptamine in three steps, using a diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler reaction.This approach affords, in addition, formal synthesis of the marine alkaloids eudistomins H and I.
