The first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-vallesine via a strategy that features a late-stage regioselective C17-oxidation followed by a highly stereoselective transannular cyclization is reported. The versatility of this approach is highlighted by the divergent synthesis of the archetypal alkaloid of this family, (+)-aspidospermidine, and an A-ring-oxygenated derivative, (+)-deacetylaspidospermine, the precursor to (-)-vallesine, from a common intermediate.
本文报道了通过一种策略实现(-)-瓦莱辛的首次对映选择性全合成,该策略的特点是晚期 C17-选择性氧化,然后是高度对映选择性的环加成。这种方法的多功能性通过该家族原型生物碱(+)-表阿朴长春碱和 A 环氧化衍生物(+)-去乙酰表阿朴长春胺的发散合成得到了突出体现,它们是(-)-瓦莱辛的前体,均由一个共同的中间体制备得到。
