Synthesis of 2,3,9,10-Tetraoxygenated benzo[c]phenanthridine derivatives via palladiummediated aryl-Aryl coupling reaction

Two 2,3,9,10-Tetraoxygenated benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids, 1 2, originally reported as zanthoxyline and broussonpapyrine, respectively, were synthesized using the Pd-mediated intramolecular aryl-Aryl coupling reaction as the key step.

Competition of substituents for ortho direction of metalation of veratric acid

LTMP (5 equiv) metalates randomly veratric acid (1). Under external quench conditions, the thermodynamically more stable lithium 2-lithio-3,4-dimethoxybenzoate (2) reacts with a variety of electrophiles to give versatile building units that are not easily accessible by conventional means. Under in situ quench conditions (LTMP/TMSCl), a reversal of regioselectivity is observed and 6-trimethylsilyl-3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid (10) is formed predominantly.
