Abstract
A total synthesis of (−)-aspidospermidine via an enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution strategy is reported. This represents the first application of a Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution with a 3-substituted indole derivative in the synthesis of Aspidosperma alkaloids. In our synthetic route, the allylic substitution reaction was the stereo defining step. The pentacyclic framework was then constructed in a fully diastereoselective sequence. This culminated in the shortest enantioselective synthesis of aspidospermidine reported to date, in seven linear steps.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
