The palladium-catalyzed preparation of condensed tetracyclic heterocycles and their application to the synthesis of rac-mangochinine

Dihydroisoquinoline derivatives and their analogues, prepared by the Bischler-Napieralsky reaction, were converted to their indole-fused derivatives. Scope and limitations of the palladium-catalyzed reaction, proceeding through the tautomeric enamine forms of these compounds, were studied and the process was extended to the preparation of racemic mangochinine.

Photochemical synthesis of 7,8-dioxygenated isoquinoline alkaloids

A new approach to the synthesis of 7,8-dioxygenated tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids based on the photo-Fries rearrangement of esters derived from 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy phenylacetonitrile is reported. The procedure was applied to the synthesis of the alkaloid Arizonine and 1-benzyl tetrahydroisoquinoline precursor of cularine and 1,2-berbine alkaloids.

Oxidation of Methoxy- and/or Methyl-Substituted Benzenes and Naphthalenes to Quinones and Phenols by H2O2 in HCOOH

The oxidation of a number of arenes (methoxybenzenes, methylbenzenes, and naphthalenes) to quinones and phenols by H2O2 in HCOOH has been examined.Methoxybenzenes were much more easily oxidized to p-benzoquinones than methylbenzenes (e.g., 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was oxidized to 2,6-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone in a 75percent yield and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene to 2,3,5-trimethyl-p-benzoquinone in a 16percent yield).Electron-withdrawing substituents, such as nitro, cyano, and chloro groups, lowered the conversion of reactants and changed the product selectivity from quinones to phenols.Methoxybenzonitriles were oxidized to corresponding phenols in a moder ate yield (e.g., 2,6-dimethoxybenzonitrile to 3-hydroxy-2,6-dimethoxybenzonitrile in a 39percent yield and a 64percent selectivity).
