An asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-aspidophylline A has been accomplished. The key transformations include an asymmetric hydride transfer hydrogenation of an α,β-acetylenic ketone and a cationic gold(I)-catalyzed 6-exo-dig cyclization involving an alkynylindole/aminal formation cascade, which enables stereoselective establishment of the requisite quaternary carbon center.
已完成 (-)-aspidophylline A 的不对称全合成。关键转化包括α,β-炔基酮的不对称氢转移氢化和涉及炔基吲哚/亚胺形成级联的阳离子金(I)催化的 6-endo-dig 环化反应,这使得所需的季碳原子的立体选择性建立成为可能。
