, p. 6457 - 6460 (2019/09/06)
A facile asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-aspidospermidine has been developed, which is accomplished in 11 steps in an overall yield of 9.6%. Key steps involve a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective decarboxylative allylation to install the quaternary ca
Total Synthesis of (-)-Rhazinilam and Formal Synthesis of (+)-Eburenine and (+)-Aspidospermidine: Asymmetric Cu-Catalyzed Propargylic Substitution
Shemet, Andrej,Carreira, Erick M.
, p. 5529 - 5532 (2017/10/25)
A total synthesis of (-)-rhazinilam and formal syntheses of (+)-eburenine and (+)-aspidospermidine that rely on a copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution as the key step are reported. A salient feature of the reaction is the asymmetric con

Organic chemists are now able to synthesize small quantities of almost any known natural product, given sufficient time, resources and effort. However, translation of the academic successes in total synthesis to the large-scale construction of complex natural products and the development of large collections of biologically relevant molecules present significant challenges to synthetic chemists. Here we show that the application of two nature-inspired techniques, namely organocascade catalysis and collective natural product synthesis, can facilitate the preparation of useful quantities of a range of structurally diverse natural products from a common molecular scaffold. The power of this concept has been demonstrated through the expedient, asymmetric total syntheses of six well-known alkaloid natural products: strychnine, aspidospermidine, vincadifformine, akuammicine, kopsanone and kopsinine.
