Copper-catalyzed synthesis of pyrido-fused quinazolinones from 2-aminoarylmethanols and isoquinolines or tetrahydroisoquinolines

Pyrido-fused quinazolinones were synthesizedviacopper-catalyzed cascade C(sp2)-H amination and annulation of 2-aminoarylmethanols with isoquinolines or pyridines. The transformation proceeded readily in the presence of a commercially available CuCl2catalyst with molecular oxygen as a green oxidant. Moreover, the dehydrogenative cross-coupling of 2-aminoarylmethanols with tetrahydroisoquinolines was explored, in which CuBr exhibited higher catalytic activity than CuCl2. Broad substrate scope with good tolerance of functionalities was observed under the optimized reaction conditions. The bioactive naturally occurring alkaloid rutaecarpine could be obtained by this strategy. The remarkable feature of this protocol is that complicated heterocyclic structures are readily achieved in a single synthetic step from easily accessible reactants and catalysts. This pathway to pyrido-fused quinazolinones would be complementary to existing protocols.

Investigation into the stability and reactivity of the pentacyclic alkaloid dehydroevodiamine and the benz-analog thereof

Limited synthetic approaches to obtain the biologically active alkaloid dehydroevodiamine (DHED) are known to date. Undesired demethylation in the most widely applied route was found to be a hampering side reaction for the benz-DHED derivative leading to a quinazolinone, which represents a benz-rutaecarpine derivative. For rutaecarpine, a related plant alkaloid, many different synthetic approaches have been described. Alternative reaction procedures to obtain DHED such as methylation of rutaecarpine and oxidation of evodiamine were investigated to make DHED more easily accessible and the latter method proved to be the most successful one. Furthermore, the remarkable equilibrium between the ring closed quinazolinium and the ring open form of the compounds was systematically investigated by UV-vis measurements. The ring open form and the quinazolinium salt, form the same species when incubated in buffer solution for 24 h. A better soluble form, i.e., 'hydroxyevodiamine', seems to represent the biologically active form that has not yet been described.

Multicomponent assembly strategies for the synthesis of diverse tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffolds

Several novel multicomponent assembly processes have been developed for the rapid and efficient assembly of various heterocyclic scaffolds bearing a tetrahydroisoquinoline core, each of which allows for facile derivatization to access a diverse array of compounds. This work led to the serendipitous discovery of a new method for the synthesis of a fused quinazolone ring system, which was applied to a one-step total synthesis of the quinazolinocarboline alkaloid rutaecarpine.

Radical reactions with 3H-quinazolin-4-ones: Synthesis of deoxyvasicinone, mackinazolinone, luotonin A, rutaecarpine and tryptanthrin

Alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl and acyl radicals have been cyclised onto the 2-position of 3H-quinazolin-4-one. The side chains containing the radical precursors were attached to the nitrogen atom in the 3-position. The cyclisations take place by aromatic homolytic substitution hence retain the aromaticity of the 3H-quinazolin-4-one ring. The highest yields were obtained using hexamethylditin to facilitate cyclisation rather than reduction without cyclisation. The alkaloids deoxyvasicinone 2, mackinazolinone 3, tryptanthrin 4, luotonin A 5 and rutaecarpine 8 were synthesised by radical cyclisation onto 3H-quinazolin-4-one.
