Chlorocyclization of tryptamine derivatives has been developed with the use of a diphenyl diselenide-iodine cooperative catalyst. Various tryptamine derivatives can be smoothly converted to the corresponding C3a-chlorohexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indoles. Additionally, we demonstrate the formal total syntheses of (-)-psychotriasine and (-)-acetylardeemin by introducing nucleophiles to the C3a position of the products.
二苯基二硒醚-碘协同催化剂的应用开发了色胺衍生物的氯环化反应。各种色胺衍生物可以顺利地转化为相应的 C3a-氯六氢吡咯并[2,3-b]吲哚。此外,我们通过向产物的 C3a 位引入亲核试剂,实现了(-)-psychotriasine 和(-)-acetylardeemin 的形式全合成。
