Bronsted Acid Mediated Cyclization of Enaminones. Rapid and Efficient Access to the Tetracyclic Framework of the Strychnos Alkaloids

[摘要]：The development of an efficient diastereoselective method that permits rapid construction of the tetracyclic core 17 of the Strychnos-Aspidosperma alkaloids is described. Enaminone 16, synthesized in high yield, has been cyclized under the influence of a Bronsted acid to provide the core tetracyclic framework 17 of the Strychnos alkaloids in optically active form or alternatively to the beta-ketoester tetrahydro-beta-carboline (THBC) unit 18, by varying the equivalents of acid and the molar concentration. Attempts to utilize 18 to form the C(7)-C(16) bond of the akuammiline related alkaloids represented by strictamine (22), using metal-carbenoid chemistry, are also described.
