Sanguinones A and B are recently isolated pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids possessing a rare C4 carboxylic acid. We report a synthetic approach toward the full carbon and nitrogen pentacyclic core of sanguinone B, with the correct oxidation at C4. Highlights of this approach include the application of a Larock/Buchwald-Hartwig annulation cascade to access a key tricyclic intermediate and alkyne functionalization using Rh(I) or Cu(I) catalysis to access hindered benzylic ketones.
血根碱A和B是最近分离出的含有罕见C4羧酸的吡咯并亚氨基醌生物碱。我们报道了一种合成血根碱B完整碳氮五环核心的方法,该方法在C4处具有正确的氧化态。该方法的亮点包括应用Larock/Buchwald-Hartwig环化级联反应来获得关键的三环中间体,以及使用Rh(I)或Cu(I)催化进行炔烃官能化以获得受阻的苄基酮。
