Studies towards the enantioselective synthesis of an advanced intermediate of elisabethin A

Abstract: A nine-step sequence towards a chiral intermediate of elisabethin A starting from a literature known orthoester is reported. Enantioselective α-alkylation of pseudoephedrine amide applying Myers’ protocol was seen as key step of the synthesis. G

Synthesis of mimosamycin

Mimosamycin (1) was synthesized in eight steps with an overall yield of 13% from 2-methoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone by regioselective introduction of a chloromethyl group at C-6 and a methoxycarbonylmethyl group at C-5 and subsequent reaction of the intermediate methyl (o- (chloromethyl)phenyl)acetate derivative 16 with methylamine. Oxidation of the 5,7,8-trimethoxy-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydroisoquinoline-3(2H)-one 17 thus obtained, using cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate as a selective oxidizing agent, gave mimosamycin (1) in good overall yield.
