, p. 5178 - 5183 (2019/05/24)
Herein, we describe a visible-light-induced radical strategy for the 1,2-formylarylation of N-arylacrylamides via the C-H activation of 1,3-dioxolane using a carbazolic-cyano conjugated microporous polymer (CC-CMP) as a metal-free photocatalyst. This process provides an efficient and mild approach for constructing highly functionalized formyl-substituted oxindoles, which are valuable building blocks that allow rapid access to various important heterocycle-fused and spirocyclic indole alkaloids. Utilizing this strategy, bioactive alkaloids, such as (±)-desoxyeseroline, (±)-esermethole, and (±)-N-Me-coerulescine, have been concisely synthesized in up to 74% overall yield from low-cost acrylamides and 1,3-dioxolane. The overall yields of our approach are much higher than those of conventional multistep methods. Gram-scale syntheses of natural alkaloids have been demonstrated, highlighting the practical utility of this protocol. The use of CC-CMP photocatalysts, which are metal-free, flexible, stable, effective, and reusable, making this strategy appealing to advanced chemical manufacturing.

A metal-free method for the construction of oxazolidine-2,4-diones and oxindoles was discussed. Using iodine monochloride (ICl) as both the reaction promoter and iodide source, the iodolactonization of N-Boc acrylamides proceeded readily and provided the corresponding iodo oxazolidine-2,4-diones and oxazolidin-2-ones in good isolated yields. The obtained oxazolidine-2,4-diones can be used as key intermediates in the synthesis of toloxatone. When N-alkyl-N-arylacrylamide derivatives were subjected to the same reaction, iodocarbocyclization products 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles were obtained. The obtained oxindoles can be used as key intermediates in the synthesis of the alkaloids (±)-esermethole and (±)-physostigmine.

We report an efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed deacylative allylation of N-acyl 3-substituted 2-oxindoles via the coupling of in situ generated nucleophiles (3 and 4) with allyl electrophiles for the synthesis of a variety of 2-oxindoles with C3-quaternary centers. Gratifyingly, this alkylation process is found to be highly chemoselective in nature, where a C-C bond formation is completely predominant over a C-N bond formation. A variety of key intermediates were synthesized utilizing an aforementioned methodology.

Paragraph 0013; 0048-0051, (2017/09/13)
The invention relates to physostigmine and provides a preparation method for a physostigmine precursor compound. The physostigmine precursor compound is prepared with 5-methoxytryptamine as a starting raw material through amino protection, intramolecular cyclization, methylation and amide reduction. The preparation method has the advantages of simple synthesis route, usage of cheap and easily available synthesis reagents, simple synthesis operation, friendliness to environment and the like and is highly feasible in industrial production. In particular, a cyclization reagent, i.e., 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, used in the key intramolecular cyclization is a commercial germicide and disinfectant and is cheap, easily available and friendly to environment. The physostigmine precursor compound used as a synthesis precursor or intermediate for physostigmine is also applicable as a synthesis precursor for phenserine and a variety of physostigmine derivatives and thus has good application value and development potential.

An FeCl3-catalyzed efficient strategy for the allylation reactions of 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles with allyltrimethylsilane has been developed. The reaction affords a variety of 2-oxindoles having quaternary center at the pseudobenzylic position in an operationally simple and inexpensive procedure. Control experiments using enantioenriched 3-hydroxy-2-oxindole show that the reaction proceeds through in situ generated 2H-indol-2-one (8). The methodology presents an efficient and concise access to the pyrroloindoline alkaloids (±)-deoxyeseroline (1a), (±)-esermethole (1b), (±)-physostigmine (1c), (±)-phenserine (1d), and (±)-physovenine (1e). Eventually, we extrapolated the scope of this methodology to the formal total syntheses of dimeric cyclotyrptamine alkaloids (±)-chimonanthine (3a), (±)-folicanthine (3c), and (±)-calycanthine (4).

Cut to the chase: Direct formation of an enehydrazine, an intermediate in the classic Fischer indole synthesis, solves the regioselectivity problem associated with indolization. This approach not only achieves selective synthesis of indoles through proper selection of the vinyl halide, but also leads to quick construction of desoxyeseroline and esermethole, as well as the key structural motif in the Akuammiline alkaloid vincorine.
