RESUMO
Chemo-, regio- and diastereoselective coupling reactions of indole with imide derivatives leading to unique heterocyclic systems are demonstrated. Acid-induced 3-position coupling reactions of indole with cyclic imide derived lactamols followed by acid promoted 2-position cyclizations with the corresponding aldehydes are described to obtain the indolizinoindolones and benzoindolizinoindolones. Base induced 2-position coupling reactions of N-tosylindole with N-(2-iodoethyl)imides and the subsequent cyclizations provide indolylepoxypyrrolooxazole, indolylpyrrolooxazolone and indolyloxazoloisoindolone. Reductive cleavage of indolyloxazoloisoindolone to the corresponding alcohol followed by mesylation and base promoted N-cyclization affords the in situ air-oxidized pentacyclic product hydroxyisoindolopyrazinoindolone. A regioisomeric structural revision of the natural product from 1,2,5,6,7,11c-hexahydro-3H-indolizino[7,8-b]indol-3-one to 1,2,5,6,11,11b-hexahydro-3H-indolizino(8,7-b)indol-3-one is also reported in the present studies focussed on the methodologies for heterocyclic synthesis.

Facile regioselective oxidation of indoles to 2-oxindoles promoted by sulfuric acid adsorbed on silica gel is reported. The demonstrated practical site-selective heterogeneous oxidation reactions conveniently take place with a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerances. The present oxidation strategy is also employed to accomplish the total synthesis of natural products donaxaridine and donaxarine. On the basis of analytical and spectral data it is evidenced that donaxarine stays in equilibrium with its hydrated ring opened form. The structural features essential for this type of oxidation and plausible mechanism are discussed in brief.
RESUMO
Starting from dimethyl (E)-2-{[(1-tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]methylene}succinate and (R)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-carbaldehyde, facile synthesis of (-)-epi-claulansine D was accomplished via condensation and two intramolecular cyclizations. The (-)-epi-claulansine D in the solid state exists in a metastable form, and after an induction period of 30-90 days, it underwent complete epimerization to exclusively deliver the desired natural product (-)-claulansine D in quantitative yield. The witnessed inversion of C-centrochirality in the solid state is conceptually novel and takes place for relatively higher crystal stability reasons. Base-catalyzed ring expansion of both (±)/(-)-epi-claulansine D and (±)/(-)-claulansine D resulted in (±)/(+)-epi-claulansine C in very good yields.

Enantioselective synthesis of cytotoxic indole alkaloid (+)-subincanadine F was accomplished starting from the corresponding ( S)-acetoxysuccinimide via aziridinium ring formation and its reductive ring expansion route. Regioselective and stereoselective reductive aziridinium carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage comprising ring expansions was a key step. The ( S)-OMOM protection of the hydroxyl moiety adjacent to a benzylic carbon of an in situ formed aziridinium system was necessary for lithium borohydride-induced reductive ring expansions, and it also served as a latent source of an essential ketone carbonyl group for the generation of an α,ß-conjugated system.

A facile synthesis of (±)-subincanadine E was described from tryptamine-based maleimide. 1,2-Addition of Grignard reagent to maleimide, internal activation of formed lactamol for in situ 1,4-addition of Grignard reagent, and associated position-specific allylic rearrangement in diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler cyclization were the key steps. Enantioselective first total synthesis of naturally occurring cytotoxic (+)-subincanadine E was also accomplished from (S)-acetoxysuccinimide via an unusual syn-addition of cuprate to the α,ß-unsaturated lactam. Sinister absolute configuration was assigned to (+)-subincanadine E on the basis of total synthesis. (S)-Acetoxy group in the succinimide precursor was initially employed to impart regio- and stereoselectivity and then as a suitable leaving group to generate the desired conjugated lactam.
RESUMO
The common precursor 1-methoxy-2-prenyl-3-carbomethoxycarbazole was synthesized from dimethyl indolylmethylenesuccinate in four steps. Well-planned reductive and/or oxidative transformations and intramolecular cyclizations were performed on a pivotal common precursor to accomplish collective first total synthesis of titled natural products and proposed claulamine E. Burgess reagent induced formation of kinetically controlled product claulamine A, and intramolecular cyclizations to form bicyclic claulansine A were the key reactions. An alternatively attempted synthesis failed to provide the structural isomer of proposed claulamine E.
RESUMO
Correction for 'Stereoselective synthesis of (-)-desethyleburnamonine, (-)-vindeburnol and (-)-3-epitacamonine: observation of a substrate dependent diastereoselectivity reversal of an aldol reaction' by Pravat Mondal et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2016, DOI: 10.1039/c6ob01438k.
RESUMO
Starting from (-)-acetoxyglutarimide, the enantioselective multistep synthesis of (-)-desethyleburnamonine, (-)-vindeburnol and (-)-3-epitacamonine has been demonstrated via a common hydroxyl-lactam intermediate with very good overall yields. The acetoxy function from (-)-acetoxyglutarimide was initially used as a handle to induce enantioselectivity and then as a latent source of the ketone carbonyl group. Most importantly, substrate dependent reversal of the diastereoselectivity in ester aldol reactions of hexahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizinones has been reported.

Starting from succinic anhydride and 2-methylanisole, a chemoenzymatic collective formal/total synthesis of several optically active tetrahydronaphthalene based bioactive natural products has been presented via advanced level common precursors; the natural product and antipode (-)/(+)-aristelegone B. Regioselective benzylic oxidations, stereoselective introduction of hydroxyl groups at the α-position of ketone moiety in syn-orientation, efficient enzymatic resolutions with high enantiomeric purity, stereoselective reductions, samarium iodide induced deoxygenations and tandem acylation-Wittig reactions without racemization and/or eliminative aromatization were the key features. An attempted diastereoselective synthesis of (±)-vallapin has also been described.

With dimethyl maleate as the starting material, facile stereoselective syntheses of natural and unnatural conjugated alkenyl(methyl)maleic anhydrides have been described. The key reactions were base-endorsed novel 1,2-, 1,4-, and 1,6-eliminations in the corresponding alkylidenesuccinate derivatives. The 1,2-eliminations in cyclic carbonate and sulfite by regioselective abstraction of methine protons with the respective release of CO2 and SO2 provided a conjugated ketone product. The characteristic 1,4- and 1,6-elimination reactions with respective release of acetone and mesylate furnished the corresponding unsaturated alcohols. The obtained allylic alcohols were transformed into conjugated alkenyl(methyl)maleic anhydrides via oxidation followed by a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction pathway in very good yields. The mechanistic aspects involved in these significant elimination reactions have also been described in brief.
RESUMO
Starting from Boc-protected tryptamine and (S)-tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-furancarboxylic acid, facile enantioselective total synthesis of desbromoarborescidines A-C and the formal synthesis of (S)-deplancheine have been accomplished via a common intermediate (S)-indolo[2,3-a]quinolizine. Synthesis of enantiomerically pure (S)-acetoxyglutarimide, stereoselective reductive intramolecular cyclization, hydroxyl group-assisted in situ N-Boc-deprotection, selective deoxygenation of the xanthate ester, and lactam hydrolysis followed by an appropriate exchange of nitrogen regioselectivity in intramolecular cyclization were the decisive steps.

The first SeO(2) induced (Z)-selective allylic alcohol formation of dialkyl alkylidenesuccinates has been demonstrated to accomplish one-step syntheses of several essential butenolides and fused butenolides via an unusual E- to Z- carbon-carbon double bond isomerisation followed by the lactonization pathway. The observed regio- and stereoselective SeO(2) allylic oxidation protocol has also been extended to the diastereoselective total synthesis of bioactive natural product isomintlactone, its direct conversion to mintlactone and an example of the base-catalyzed intramolecular rearrangement of γ-lactone to δ-lactone.

Starting from indolylmaleimide, concise and efficient total synthesis of (±)-epi-subincanadine C was described via stereoselective Wittig olefination, base-induced selective mono-prenylation, regioselective Grignard reaction, diastereoselective Pictet-Spengler cyclization, regioselective oxidative carbon-carbon double-bond cleavage, one-pot reductions, and intramolecular cyclization pathway. An attempted synthesis of (±)-subincanadine C via diastereoselective Grignard addition to the α,ß-unsaturated γ-lactam or diastereoselective reduction of a carbon-carbon double bond also resulted in yet another route to (±)-epi-subincanadine C.
