A round trip: α‐Iminol rearrangement, diastereoselective cyclization, and either aza‐pinacol or α‐aminoketone rearrangements are the key steps in a divergent and highly stereoselective synthesis of four members of the eburnane class of natural products (see Scheme).
Abstract
Controlling the cis C20/C21 relative stereochemistry remains an unsolved issue in the synthesis of eburnane‐type indole alkaloids. Provided herein is a simple solution to this problem by developing a unified and diastereoselective synthesis of four representative members of this class of natural products, namely, eburnamonine, larutensine, terengganensine B, and melokhanine E. The synthesis features the following key steps: a) an α‐iminol rearrangement transforming the 3‐hydroxyindolenine into spiroindolin‐3‐one, b) a highly diastereoselective conformation‐directed cyclization leading to the melokhanine skeleton with the desired C20/C21 cis stereochemistry, and c) either an aza‐pinacol or an unprecedented α‐aminoketone rearrangement converting spiroindolinone back into the indole skeleton.
