Pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids represent a structurally intriguing class of natural products that display an array of useful biological properties. Here, we present a versatile and scalable platform for the synthesis of this diverse family - and in particular the antitumor discorhabdins - built upon sequential selective C-H functionalization of tryptamine. The utility of this strategy is showcased through short formal syntheses of damirones A-C, makaluvamines D and I, and discorhadbin E. Additionally, we describe efforts to develop the first catalytic asymmetric entry to the discorhabdin subclass.
吡咯并咪唑醌生物碱是一类结构引人入胜的天然产物,具有一系列有用的生物学特性。在此,我们基于色胺的顺序选择性C-H官能化,提出了一个通用且可扩展的平台,用于合成这个多样化的家族,特别是抗肿瘤的盘状海绵素。通过对达米罗宁A-C、马卡鲁胺D和I以及盘状海绵素E的简短形式合成,展示了该策略的实用性。此外,我们还描述了开发盘状海绵素亚类首个催化不对称合成方法的努力。
