Stereocontrolled synthesis of lepadiformine A

Abstract: In this paper we present results of a study into whether the tricyclic core of the lepadiformines A-C can be accessed via intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition. We are able to demonstrate that such a process is possible and that the reaction proceeds in an endo-selective fashion, providing the correct relative stereochemistry for this family of natural products. By employing this approach we have been able to develop a short (7 step) synthesis of (+/-)-lepadiformine A, starting from commercially-avai… Show more

“…These structurally related compounds all exhibited bioactivity against brine shrimp larvae in a bioassay. The tricyclic ring system of cylindricine C is closely related to the one found in lepadiformine A, , differing only in the cis / trans junction of the perhydroquinoline ring and the ketone at C(4).…”

“…Lygo and co-workers reported the synthesis of (±)-lepadiformine A [(±)-14] using the intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition as a key step (Scheme 21). 59,60 The reaction of C-ring cyclic imine ester 141 having a 1,3diene moiety in 1,1,1,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFIP) allowed the cleavage of the tert-butyl ester to generate iminium-carboxylate zwitterion 142. Subsequent intramolecular cycloaddition reaction of 142 via an endo transition state provided tricycle 143 as the major isomer (dr = 5:1).…”

“…57 This tricyclic alkaloid has been isolated from several species of Clavenia and Polycitoridae sea squirts and is moderately cytotoxic toward various tumor cell lines and effective to block potassium ion channels. Initial attempts to perform the aza DielsAlder reaction with the racemic imino-diene t-butyl ester 134 in toluene at temperatures up to 165 C did not lead to the observation of any cycloadducts but to double bonds isomerization products.…”
