(Chemical Equation Presented) Twenty-eight natural and unnatural lamellarins with either a saturated or an unsaturated D-ring were synthesized according to our developed synthetic route. The key step involved the Michael addition/ring closure (Mi-RC) of the benzyldihydroisoquinoline and α-nitrocinnamate derivatives, which provided the 2-carboethoxypyrrole intermediates in moderate to good yields (up to 78% yield). Subsequent hydrogenolysis/lactonization furnished lamellarins with a saturated D-ring in excellent yields (up to 93% yield). DDQ oxidation of the saturated lamellarin acetates led directly to the corresponding unsaturated analogues in 54-95% yield. In addition, only two steps in our developed strategy require column chromatography.

Total synthesis of 2,9-dihydroxy-1,3-dimethoxy-7-methyl-6a,7-dehydroaporphine 1a and 3,9-dihydroxy-1,2-dimethoxy-7-methyl-6a,7-dehydroaporphine 1b are described. Direct comparison of both with natural goudotianine isolated from Guatteria goudotiana R.E. Fries showed the latter to be identical with 1b.
