Abstract:A reaction sequence of Diels-Alder cycloaddition and Tsuji-Trost allylation was examined in terms of its application to synthesis of kopsinine and the related Kopsia alkaloids. Results of the studies in two synthetic directions are presented herein: 1) synthesis of the properly substituted diene, required for the Diels-Alder step; 2) model studies and optimization of the key reaction sequence in the absence of side-chain. Details on the challenging introduction of the side-chain into tetrahydrocarboline ketone… Show more
