Total Synthesis of (+)‐Minfiensine: Construction of the Tetracyclic Core Structure by an Asymmetric Cascade Cyclization

Abstract: A new method for one-step construction of the tetracyclic core structure of the indole alkaloid (+)-minfiensine was developed utilizing a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric indole dearomatization/iminium cyclization cascade. An efficient total synthesis of (+)-minfiensine was realized using this strategy. The present method enables access to the common core structure of a series of monoterpene indole alkaloids, such as vincorine, echitamine, and aspidosphylline A.

“…This system was also successfully applied to the isomerization of tetracyclic olefin 6 to 7, with the less hindered product 7 isolated in 93% yield, which could be a key step in the total synthesis of (+)-minfiensine (Scheme 7, eq 2). 16…”

“…The unique structures of aspidospermidine and minfiensine have attracted considerable synthetic efforts. Although a number of beautiful total syntheses have been reported, the asymmetric syntheses of aspidospermidine 18 and minfiensine 19 using enantioselective catalytic methods remain scarce and highly desirable. Despite having different biological origins, both aspidospermidine and minfiensine share a common chiral hydrocarbazole skeleton bearing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter.…”

“…Starting from the 2,3-disubstituted indole 178, the domino strategy based on the asymmetric indole dearomatization/iminium cyclization was applied in the synthesis of the tetracyclic core structure 179 that was used in the total synthesis of the indole alkaloid (+)-minfiensine (Scheme 72). 72 The best enantioselective result was obtained by us-ing 4.5 mol% of ligand (S,S)-L8 (89% ee). Furthermore, this method potentially gives access to other core structure of monoterpene indole alkaloids, such as vincorine, echitamine, and aspidosphylline A.…”
