Nucleophilic addition of 1-acetylindole enolates to pyridinium salts. Stereoselecti<br />

1999<br />

Journal of Organic Chemistry<br />

64(26): 9605-9612<br />

Abstract<br />

Addition of <strong>the</strong> enolate derived from 1-acetylindole (3) to pyridinium salt 4b followed by acidinduced<br />

cyclization of <strong>the</strong> resulting 1,4-dihydropyridine 5b in <strong>the</strong> presence of lithium iodide gives<br />

tetracyclic 3,7-methano[1,4]diazonino[1,2-alpha]indole 6b, which has subsequently been elaborated<br />

into <strong>the</strong> (E)-ethylidene derivative 7b. From this compound is reported a stereocontrolled route to (+/-<br />

)-geissoschizine, involving closure of C ring by Pummerer reaction, methanolysis of <strong>the</strong> resulting<br />

pentacyclic lactam 12, and desulfurization. A similar syn<strong>the</strong>tic sequence starting from <strong>the</strong> enolate of<br />

3 and 2-fluoropyridinium salt 15b gives access to <strong>the</strong> pentacyclic dilactam 2, which had previously<br />

b een converted to (+/-)-akagerine through opening of <strong>the</strong> piperidone (D) ring.<br />

Beta-carboline glucoalkaloids from <strong>Strychnos</strong> mellodora<br />

1999<br />

Phytochemistry<br />

51(8): 1171-1176<br />

Abstract<br />

Two new N-b-methylated beta-carbolinium glucoalkaloids, 3,4,5,6-tetradehydropalicoside and<br />

3,4,5,6-tetradehydrodolichantoside, toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> known beta-carboline compounds<br />

desoxycordifoline (beta-carboline 3-carboxylate glucoalkaloid) and melinonine F (N-b-methylated<br />

harmanium cation), were isolated from <strong>Strychnos</strong> mellodora stembark. The structures of <strong>the</strong><br />

compounds were elucidated on <strong>the</strong> basis of spectroscopic studies. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All<br />
