The pentacyclic marine alkaloids (-)-papuamine (1) and (-)-haliclonadiamine (2) have been prepared by total synthesis. The synthesis began with (-)-8, which was converted into diester 20 by way of bis-mesylate 17, dinitrile 18, and diacid 19. Dieckmann cyclization of 20 provided keto ester 21, which was transformed into acetal 22. After hydrolysis of the acetal, ketone 25 was subjected to reductive amination with 1,3-propanediamine and sodium triacetoxyborohydride to obtain diamines 26 and 27 as a 71:29 mixture of diastereomers, favoring the symmetrical isomer having the papuamine relative configuration. After transformation of the diamines to their t-Boc derivatives, the benzyl ethers were cleaved and the resulting diol was oxidized to dialdehyde 30. Application of the Seyferth procedure for conversion of aldehydes to alkynes gave a mixture of diynes 31 and 32. After removal of the t-Boc protecting groups from 31, diamino diyne 15 was treated with tributylstannane and azoisobutyronitrile te obtain the bis-vinylstannane 34. Treatment of this compound with Pd(II) and Cu(I) in the presence of air produced (-)-papuamine (1). (-)Haliclonadiamine (2) was obtained from the unsymmetrical isomer, 32. The NMR spectra of the synthetic alkaloids were identical to those of authentic samples of the natural alkaloids.
