Enantioselective syntheses of (-)-alloyohimbane and (-)-yohimbane was accomplished in a convergent manner. The key step involved a modified mild protocol for the enantioselective enzymatic desymmetrization of -diacetate. The protocol provided convenient access to an optically active monoacetate in multi-gram scale in high enantiomeric purity. This monoacetate was converted to (-)-alloyohimbane. Reductive amination of the derived aldehyde causes the isomerization leading to the -product and allows the synthesis of (-)-yohimbane.
以汇聚方式完成了(-)-别育亨烷和(-)-育亨烷的对映选择性合成。关键步骤涉及一种改进的温和方案,用于对二乙酸酯进行对映选择性酶促去对称化。该方案提供了一种便捷的方法,能够以多克规模、高对映体纯度获得光学活性单乙酸酯。这种单乙酸酯被转化为(-)-别育亨烷。衍生醛的还原胺化导致异构化生成α-产物,并实现了(-)-育亨烷的合成。
