Synthesis of 2,3-cis stereomeric emetamines via Reissert compounds

Alkylation of Reissert compounds with certain benzoquinolizinone derivatives followed by hydrolytic cleavage afforded the core of the title compounds in a two step sequence. Finally, the lactam intermediates were reduced with DIBAH giving the target compo

Copper(ii)-catalyzed and acid-promoted highly regioselective oxidation of tautomerizable C(sp3)-H bonds adjacent to 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines using air (O2) as a clean oxidant

A mild, efficient and eco-friendly method for the oxidation of 1-Bn-DHIQs to 1-Bz-DHIQs without concomitant excessive oxidation of 1-Bz-DHIQs to 1-Bz-IQs is very important for the syntheses of 1-Bz-DHIQ alkaloids and analogues. In this article, we developed a novel Cu(ii)-catalyzed and acid-promoted highly regioselective oxidation of tautomerizable C(sp3)-H bonds adjacent to the C-1 positions of various 1-Bn-DHIQs. It was observed that when 0.2 equiv. of Cu(OAc)2·2H2O was used as the catalyst, 3.0 equiv. of AcOH was used as the additive and air (O2) was used as a clean oxidant, various 1-Bn-DHIQs could be efficiently oxidized to corresponding 1-Bz-DHIQs at 25 °C in DMSO. Especially, almost no concomitant excessive oxidation of 1-Bz-DHIQs to 1-Bz-IQs was observed during the above reaction. In addition, this method was successfully applied in the first total synthesis of the alkaloid canelillinoxine.

Synthesis of N-Heterocycles by Reductive Cyclization of Nitroalkenes Using Molybdenum Hexacarbonyl as Carbon Monoxide Surrogate

The development of a method that uses molybdenum hexacarbonyl [Mo(CO)6] as carbon monoxide (CO) surrogate for the palladium-catalyzed reductive cyclization of nitroalkenes into indoles or thienopyrroles is reported. Several types of nitroalkenes could be transformed into the desired products in excellent yields and in most cases with complete regioselectivities and higher yields than those previously reported with palladium/CO system.

Development of Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed tandem oxidation of C[sbnd]N, C[sbnd]C, and C(sp3)–H bonds: Concise synthesis of 1-aroylisoquinoline, oxoaporphine, and 8-oxyprotoberberine alkaloids

A catalytic tandem oxidation of C[sbnd]N, C[sbnd]C, and C(sp3)–H bonds is developed. This tandem oxidation is applied to two-step total syntheses of papaveraldine and pulcheotine A. Additionally, the total synthesis of liriodenine is achieved in six steps from homopiperonyl alcohol and 2-bromophenylacetonitrile by applying this catalytic tandem oxidation. Moreover, the direct conversion of xylopinine to 8-oxypseudopalmatine in a 76% yield demonstrates the versatility of this catalytic reaction.

Novel total syntheses of oxoaporphine alkaloids enabled by mild Cu-catalyzed tandem oxidation/aromatization of 1-Bn-DHIQs

Novel total syntheses of oxoaporphine alkaloids such as liriodenine, dicentrinone, cassameridine, lysicamine, oxoglaucine and O-methylmoschatoline were developed. The key step of these total syntheses is Cu-catalyzed conversion of 1-benzyl-3,4-dihydro-isoquinolines (1-Bn-DHIQs) to 1-benzoyl-isoquinolines (1-Bz-IQs) via tandem oxidation/aromatization. This novel Cu-catalyzed conversion has been studied in detail, and was successfully used for constructing the 1-Bz-IQ core.

Transition-Metal-Free Acylation of Quinolines and Isoquinolines with Arylmethanols via Oxidative Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reactions

An efficient acylation of quinolines and isoquinolines is described by use of arylmethanols as the acylating agents through a C-C bond formation via an oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) strategy. This C-aroylation reaction was carried out by use of K2S2O8 as oxidant and methyltrioctylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336) as a transfer agent in MeCN at 80 °C under transition-metal-free conditions.

TBHP/TFA mediated oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling of N-heterocycles with aldehydes

An effective and metal-free oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of N-heterocycles with diverse aldehydes has been established in the presence of TBHP/TFA. The scope with respect to aldehyde and N-heterocycle components is broad, allowing facile synthesis of a broad range of structurally diverse C1-acyl substituted heterocycles in good efficiency.

C1-Benzyl and benzoyl isoquinoline synthesis through direct oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling with methyl arenes

An oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of isoquinolines with methyl arenes has been developed, allowing for the facile synthesis of a broad range of structurally diverse C1-benzyl and -benzoyl isoquinolines. The direct use of readily available methyl arenes as coupling partners avoids unproductive steps for preactivating the functional group installation, and is therefore attractive. The method exhibits excellent chemoselectivity, affording exclusive benzylated products in the presence of DTBP and a catalytic amount of Y(OTf)3, and yielding benzoylated ones with TBHP and a catalytic amount of MnO2.

A cascade coupling strategy for one-pot total synthesis of β-carboline and isoquinoline-containing natural products and derivatives

Multi-birds with one stone: A cascade coupling strategy was developed for the synthesis of β-carbolines. The method can direct the synthesis of β-carboline and isoquinoline-containing natural products with high yields. Moreover, this protocol can also be further applied towards the total synthesis of natural products fascaplysin and papaverin (see scheme). Copyright

Synthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids via oxidative amidation-bischler- napieralski reaction

A straightforward synthesis of -keto amides by coupling primary amines with aryl dibromoethanones under oxidative amidation conditions has been developed. The -keto amides were then subjected to heterocyclodehydration reaction under Bischler-Napieralski conditions followed by aromatization with DBU provided 1-benzoyl isoquinolines in a two-stage process. Utilizing this methodology, isoquinoline alkaloids such as thalmicrinone, papavaraldine, and pulcheotine A were synthesized in excellent yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
