Hasubanan Alkaloids • Family of over 40 botanical natural products • Traditionally used in Chinese medicine • All share aza[4.4.3]-propellane skeleton • Structurally related to opium alkaloids (although opposite enantiomers), and is thought to possess analgesic properties for this reason. • Synthesis of other hasubanan alkaloids published by the Reisman group (CalTech) in the same volume of ACIE.
Diels-Alder protection strategy • Azaquinones are unstable to isomerization to 5-hydroxyindoles • Enantioselective Diels Alder with 5-TMS-cyclopentadiene serves as a directing group for absolute stereochemistry and prevents isomerization to 5-hydroxyindole
Retro Diels-Alder • TMS group greatly increases reactivity towards retro diels-alder, because of stereoelctronic effects of the C-Si bond.
Conclusion • (-)-hasubanonine: 13 steps, 5% (from aryl azide) • (-)-runanine: 12 steps, 11% (from aryl azide) • (-)-delavayine: 12 steps, 12% (from aryl azide) • (+)-periglaucine: 12 steps, 9% (from aryl azide) • Very efficient route with minimal protections • TMS-cyclopentadiene Diels-Alder/ retro Diels-Alder directing/protection strategy was developed and is proposed to be general.
