[摘要]：Spirocyclic scaffolds are embedded in many biologically active natural compounds, including candidates for medicines, perfumes and agricultural chemicals. Therefore, the development of efficient synthetic methods directed at those structures is strongly in demand. To this end, we have recently developed synthetic methodologies for two different spirocyclic frameworks, spiro[4.5]decanes and spirocyclic oxindoles, based on the Claisen rearrangement. We have developed the Claisen rearrangement protocol by which bicyclic 2-(alkenyl)dihydropyrans with functionality at the 4-position can be transformed into spiro[4.5] decanes in good-to-excellent yields with excellent stereoselectivities. We applied this method to a concise total synthesis of several biologically active spirocyclic sesquiterpenes. Related Claisen rearrangement in alkenyl pyranoindole systems can also be achieved. Thus, a one-pot intramolecular Ullmann coupling (IUC)/Claisen rearrangement sequence from 2-iodoindoles was found to provide spirocyclic oxindoles in good yields with excellent stereoselectivities. We applied this sequence to the synthesis of pyrrolidinoindoline alkaloids. |
