The total synthesis of the erythrina alkaloid 3-demethoxyerythratidinone has been achieved via a strategy based on combined rhodium catalysis. The catalytic tandem cyclization effected by the interplay of alkynyl and vinylidene rhodium species allows for efficient access to the A and B rings of the tetracyclic erythrinane skeleton in a single step. The synthesis also features rapid preparation of the requisite precursor for the double ring closure and thus has been completed in only 7 total steps in 41% overall yield.
通过基于铑催化的策略,已经实现了红雀花碱 3-去甲氧基红雀花定酮的全合成。炔基和亚乙烯基铑物种的协同催化串联环化作用使四环红雀烷骨架的 A 和 B 环能够在一步中高效构建。该合成还具有快速制备双环封闭所需前体的特点,因此仅通过 7 步总反应以 41%的总收率即可完成。
