RESUMEN
[reaction: see text]. A total synthesis of racemic lepadiformine has been achieved via a route that utilizes as key steps a novel stereocontrolled intramolecular spirocyclization of an allylsilane/N-acyliminium ion and the application of our radical-based methodology for production of N-acylimines from o-aminobenzamides.

[structure] Various substituted pyridines can be prepared regioselectively by a sequence involving an intramolecular thermal or high-pressure Diels-Alder cycloaddition of an oximino malonate dienophile tethered to a dienic carboxylic acid, followed by mild aromatization of the resulting cycloadduct with cesium carbonate in DMF at room temperature.

A new strategy for enantiospecific construction of the Securinega alkaloids has been developed and applied in total syntheses of (+)-14,15-dihydronorsecurinine (8), (-)-norsecurinine (6), and phyllanthine (2). The B-ring and C7 absolute stereochemistry of these biologically active alkaloids originated from trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (10), which was converted to ketonitrile 13 via a high-yielding eight-step sequence. Treatment of this ketonitrile with SmI2 afforded the 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane B/C-ring system 14, which is a key advanced intermediate for all three synthetic targets. Annulation of the A-ring of (-)-norsecurinine (6) with the required C2 configuration via an N-acyliminium ion alkylation was accomplished using radical-based amide oxidation methodology developed in these laboratories as a key step, providing tricycle 33. Annulation of the D-ring onto alpha-hydroxyketone 33 with the Bestmann ylide 45 at 12 kbar gave (+)-14,15-dihydronorsecurinine (8). In the securinine series, the D-ring was incorporated using an intramolecular Wadsworth-Horner-Emmons olefination of phenylselenylated alpha-hydroxyketone 47. The C14,15 unsaturation was installed late in the synthesis by an oxidative elimination of the selenoxide derived from tetracyclic butenolide 50 to give (-)-norsecurinine (6). The A-ring of phyllanthine (2) was formed from hydroxyketone 14 using a stereoselective Yb(OTf)3-promoted hetero Diels-Alder reaction of the derived imine 34 with Danishefsky's diene, affording adduct 35. Conjugate reduction and stereoselective equatorial ketone reduction of vinylogous amide 35 provided tricyclic intermediate 36, which could then be elaborated in a few steps to stable hydroxyenone 53 via alpha-selenophenylenone intermediate 52. The D-ring was then constructed, again using an intramolecular Wadsworth-Horner-Emmons olefination reaction to give phyllanthine (2).

[formula: see text] A mild new synthetic procedure has been developed for in situ generation and cyclization of iminyl radicals onto pendant alkenes, followed by functionalization of the resulting carbon radical by one of a variety of trapping reagents. The key process in the method involves production of the iminyl radical via treatment of an aldoxime or ketoxime with readily available 2,6-dimethylbenzenesulfinyl chloride at -50 degrees C to room temperature (Hudson reaction).

The present study establishes relationships between structure and reactivity for the pyrroloquinoline and phenanthroline quinones. The electrochemical reductions of 1,7- and 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-quinones, like other quinones, are reversible and occur by 2e- transfer in a single step in aqueous solution and by two 1e(-)-transfer steps in aprotic media. The electron-withdrawing pyridine moieties both increase their potentials and stabilize their aprotic semiquinones. The electrochemistry of the cofactor methoxatin and its trimethylester derivative is similar to the phenanthroline quinones in aqueous solution. However, the electrochemical reductions of methoxatin and its triester in aprotic solutions are characterized by at least three potentials, each accounting for less than 1e-. This has been explained by the proposal of semiquinone complexing with itself and with quinone. Despite an electron-donating pyrrole moiety, methoxatin and its trimethylester have relatively high potentials in aprotic solution. This is presumably due to stabilization of radical anions by the aforementioned complexing or by delocalization with carboxylic acid and ester groups. The reduction potential of methoxatin, in both aqueous and aprotic solvent, suggests that oxidation of methanol should be a thermodynamically favorable process. No evidence for an electrochemically reduced state lower than the quinol was found for any of the compounds. Chemical reactivity is influenced by the orientation of the pyridine nitrogen. The two quinones with a pyridine nitrogen peri to a quinone carbonyl add and oxidize nucleophiles most readily.

A new phenolic derivative of aflatoxin B(1), appearing mainly in conjugated form, was identified as the principal urinary metabolite of aflatoxin B(1) in rhesus monkeys. Its identification in human urine might facilitate estimation of aflatoxin exposure in human populations.
