SCHEME 13.47
Encouraged by the above model system, the Snider group pursued the total
synthesis of martinellic acid [84]. In this sequence of reactions, aldehyde
233a
reacted
with an excess of
N
-benzyl glycine in boiling toluene to give tetracyclic amide
234
in
57%, along with 3% of another diastereomer (Scheme 13.47). Installation of a
carbomethoxy group on the aryl ring followed by reductive ring opening of the
pyrrolidone furnished
235
. Conversion of the alcohol into an amine and installation of
the cyanamide groups provided
236
, whichwas set for installation of the prenyl guanidine
moieties. Reaction of
236
with prenylamine at 120
C in hexafluoro-2-propanol provided
237
, and base-promoted hydrolysis afforded (
)-martinellic acid
227b
in 62%yield from
248
. Lovely andBadarinarayana reported avery similar approach usingnonracemic
233b
to give (
)-martinellic acid [85].
Coldham and coworkers incorporated a [3
2]-cycloaddition of an azo-
methine ylide in their approach to manzamine alkaloids [86]. In a series of model
studies directed toward the ABCE ring system of these alkaloids, it was found that
nonenolizable aldehydes, such as
238
, reacted with sarcosine ethyl ester in the
presence of 10 mol% CSA to give, for example,
239
in 68% yield, together with a
small amount of a mixture of other diastereomers (Scheme 13.48). Heating
aldehyde
240
with sarcosine ethyl ester produced
241
asasinglediastereomerin
52% yield [87]. Tricyclic
241
has the proper relative stereochemistry and much of
the functionalization of the ABC core of manzamine A. Encouraged with these
results, themethod was applied to the synthesis of the ABCE systemby reacting
242
with
N
-allyl glycine ethyl ester to furnish
243
in 43% yield, along with 6% of an
epimer [88]. A palladium-mediated cleavage of the
N
-allyl group gave
244
in 86%
yield, and acylation of the free nitrogen atom with
245
produced
246
in 79%
yield [89]. Reduction of the ester followed by a TPAP-mediated oxidation and
olefination provided
247
in 52% yield from
246
. Ring-closing olefin metathesis
promoted by the Grubbs second generation catalyst
248
and ketal deprotection
furnished tetracycle
249
in 75% yield.
