Three distinct synthetic routes to the 2-prenyl tryptophan core skeleton of tryprostatins and their total syntheses are described. The strategies include a traditional gramine-mediated coupling reaction, Fuerstner indole synthesis, and our radical-mediated indole synthesis from o-alkenylphenyl isocyanide. The establishment of reliable conditions for the radical-mediated construction of indoles via a low-temperature radical initiator V-70 (2,2′-azobis(4- methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile)) led to the highly efficient syntheses of tryprostatins A and B.

Benzo- and tetrahydrobenzoporphyrins are widespread constituents of oil shales and petroleum.Although the origins of these materials are not known, a case is made for divinylchlorophyll a, a widespread pigment in marine algae, being the precursor to many of these geoporphyrins.Total syntheses of four tetrahydrobenzoporphyrins related to etioporphyrin III are described.Tetrahydroisoindoles were prepared by condensation of isocyanoacetates with 1-nitrocyclohexene in the presence of DBU or by reaction of aminomalonates with 2-formylcyclohexanone.Condensation of 3-unsubstituted 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindoles 23c and 23d with (acetoxymethyl)pyrroles in the presence of Montmorillonite clay gave dipyrrylmethanes 28a and 36a in excellent yield.Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl esters and subsequent acid-catalyzed condensation with pyrrole aldehydes 37a and /or 37b gave a series of a,c-biladiene dihydrobromides.Copper(II) mediated cyclization of the a,c-biladienes 32, 33, 35, and 38, followed by demetallation with 15percent sulfuric acid-trifluoroacetic acid, gave four isomeric tetrahydrobenzoporphyrins 10-13 in unusually high yield.This work provides a general route for the synthesis of these important porphyrin molecular fossils.

Preparation, properties, and reactions of the reagent methyl N-(dicarbomethoxymethyl)methanimidate (1) are reported.Dropwise addition of dimethyl aminomalonate to refluxing trimethyl orthoformate/TFA afforded 1.Treatment of 1 with ammonia and various primary amines gave the corresponding unsubstituted and 1-substituted 4-carbomethoxy-5-hydroxyimidazoles 7-12, either as the parent hydroxy compounds (a) or as the (alkyl)ammonium salts (b).The reaction of 1 with water and sodium hydrosulfide provided dimethyl N-formylaminomalonate (13) and dimethyl N-(thioformyl)aminomalonate (14), respectively.The reaction of 1 with excess sodium hydrosulfide resulted in the formation of methyl N-(thioformyl)aminoacetate (17).Conversions of methylammonium 4-carbomethoxy-1-methylimidazol-5-olate (8b) and benzylammonium 4-carbomethoxy-1-benzylimidazol-5-olate (9b) into 5-(benzylamino)-4-(benzylcarbamoyl)-1-methylimidazole (18) and 1-benzyl-5-(benzylamino)-4-(benzylcarbamoyl)imidazole (19), respectively, were each accomplished in a single-pot procedure, employing phenylphosphonic dichloride as the key reagent.
