Popis: | A route to (−)-pseudo and (−)-allo isomers of yohimban is described. This asymmetric synthetic approach to indole alkaloids is based on the stereocontrolled alkylation of α-amino carbanions mediated by chiral formamidines. The stereochemically pure enantiomer of the alkylated β-carboline 7 is utilized to bias the subsequent intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of the N-dienamide 8 or the homologous N-acrylamide 12 derived from the alkylated carboline 11. In this fashion, suitable choice of diene and dienophile partners led to the pseudo- and alloyohimban isomers 1b and 1c, respectively |
