A Concise Total Synthesis of (±)-Stepharine and (±)-Pronuciferine

Abstract: We herein report a concise total synthesis of (±)-stepharine and (±)-pronuciferine using readily available reagents as the starting materials. This synthesis features a three-component Catellani reaction/Au-catalyzed 6-exo-dig cyclization for the assembly of 1-methylene-THIQ scaffold and an oxidative dearomatization for constructing spiro-cyclohexadienone scaffold.

“…Isolated from Neilzlmbo nucifera by Bernauer and co-workers in 1963, (±)-stepharine and (±)-pronuciferine are two representative members of proaporphine alkaloids featuring a 6–6–5–6 ring system, including a THIQ moiety and a spiro-cyclohexadienone skeleton. A retrosynthetic analysis is presented in Scheme A . We conceived that the spiro-cyclohexadienone scaffold could be assembled from 1-methylene-THIQ 53 via an oxidative dearomatization followed by reduction, referring to Honda’s work .…”

“…For instance, spirooxindole A is a crucial intermediate in synthesizing the potent and selective vasopressin inhibitor SR121463A C (Figure 1) 2 . Similarly, spirodihydroquinolone B is essential in preparing azagalanthamine D. 3 Furthermore, spindomycine B E, featuring a spirocyclohexadienone linked to oxindole, acts as a Bcr-Abl inhibitor, 4 while spirocyclohexadienones tethered to the tetrahydroisoquinoline molecule F (Stepharine) exhibit antihypertensive activity 5 (Figure 1). Pyrazolone tethered to the spirocyclohexadienone core G shows anti-tumor activity against cancer cells.…”
