The enantioselective synthesis of (S)-(+)-tylophorine, a potent cancer cell growth inhibitor, has been accomplished in eight steps from commercially available 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol. A copper (II)-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular alkene carboamination was employed as the key step to construct the chiral indolizidine ring.
强效癌细胞生长抑制剂(S)-(+)- tylophorine已从市售的3,4-二甲氧基苄醇经八步反应实现对映选择性合成。采用铜(II)催化的对映选择性分子内烯烃碳胺化反应作为构建手性中氮茚环的关键步骤。
