Enantioselective Total Syntheses of Akuammiline Alkaloids (+)-Strictamine, (−)-2(S)‑Cathafoline, and (−)-Aspidophylline A
The akuammiline alkaloids are a family of natural products that have been widely studied for decades. Although notable synthetic achievements have been made recently, akuammilines that possess a methanoquinolizidine core have evaded synthetic efforts. We report an asymmetric approach to these alkaloids, which has culminated in the first total syntheses of (-)-2(S)-cathafoline and the long-standing target (+)-strictamine. Moreover, the first enantioselective total synthesis of aspidophylline A is described
Quantification of the Electrophilicity of Benzyne and Related Intermediates
The determination
of reactivity parameters for short-lived intermediates
provides an indispensable tool for synthetic design. Despite that
electrophilicity parameters have now been established for more than
250 reactive species, the corresponding parameters for benzyne and
related intermediates have not been uncovered. We report a study that
has allowed for the quantification of benzyne’s electrophilicity
parameter. Our approach relies on the strategic use of the diffusion-clock
method and also provides electrophilicity parameters <i>E</i> for other substituted arynes

Total Synthesis of (−)-Strictosidine and Interception of Aryne Natural Product Derivatives “Strictosidyne” and “Strictosamidyne”
Monoterpene indole alkaloids are a large class of natural products derived from a single biosynthetic precursor, strictosidine. We describe a synthetic approach to strictosidine that relies on a key facially selective Diels-Alder reaction between a glucosyl-modified alkene and an enal to set the C15-C20-C21 stereotriad. DFT calculations were used to examine the origin of stereoselectivity in this key step, wherein two of 16 possible isomers are predominantly formed. These calculations suggest the presence of a glucosyl unit, also inherent in the strictosidine structure, guides diastereoselectivity, with the reactive conformation of the vinyl glycoside dienophile being controlled by an exo-anomeric effect. (-)-Strictosidine was subsequently accessed using late-stage synthetic manipulations and an enzymatic Pictet-Spengler reaction. Several new natural product analogs were also accessed, including precursors to two unusual aryne natural product derivatives termed "strictosidyne" and "strictosamidyne". These studies provide a strategy for accessing glycosylic natural products and a new platform to access monoterpene indole alkaloids and their derivatives
Enantioselective Total Syntheses of Methanoquinolizidine-Containing Akuammiline Alkaloids and Related Studies
The akuammiline alkaloids are a structurally
diverse class of bioactive
natural products isolated from plants found in various parts of the
world. A particularly challenging subset of akuammiline alkaloids
are those that contain a methanoquinolizidine core. We describe a
synthetic approach to these compounds that has enabled the first total
syntheses of (+)-strictamine, (−)-2(<i>S</i>)-cathafoline,
(+)-akuammiline, and (−)-Ψ-akuammigine. Our strategy
relies on the development of the reductive interrupted Fischer indolization
reaction to construct a common pentacyclic intermediate bearing five
contiguous stereocenters, in addition to late-stage formation of the
methanoquinolizidine framework using a deprotection–cyclization
cascade. The total syntheses of (−)-Ψ-akuammigine and
(+)-akuammiline mark the first preparations of akuammiline alkaloids
containing both a methanoquinolizidine core and vicinal quaternary
centers. Lastly, we describe the bioinspired reductive rearrangements
of (+)-strictamine and (+)-akuammiline to ultimately provide (−)-10-demethoxyvincorine
and a new analogue thereof

Understanding and Interrupting the Fischer Azaindolization Reaction
Experimental
and computational studies pertaining to the Fischer
azaindolization reaction are reported. These studies explain why pyridylhydrazines
are poorly reactive in Fischer indolization reactions, in addition
to the origin of hydrazine substituent effects. Additionally, an interrupted
variant of Fischer azaindolization methodology is disclosed, which
provides a synthetic entryway into fused azaindoline scaffolds
