An ANTIMALARIAL ALKALOID FROM HYDRANGEA. XI. SYNTHESIS OF 3-[Β-Keto-Γ-(3- AND 4-Hydroxymethyl-2-Pyrrolidyl)propyl]- 4-Quinazolones

Abstract: The two possible hydroxymethylpyrrolidine structures (XLV and XLVI) for the Hydrangea alkaloid (1) have now been synthesized via the requisite 2-pyrrolidineacetic acids, XLIII. It was found that neither of these two compounds . . BAKER, R. . SCHAUB, AND J. H. WILLIAMS tion. Cyclization to the pyrrolinone, XIa, by a one to two day treatment with 40 volumes of aqueous alcoholic ammonia was reported to give an over-all yield of 85%. Duplication of this procedure gave only a 45% yield which could be increased to 6… Show more

“…Protection of the carboxylic acid group as an ortho ester has proven to have advantages in a variety of syntheses. Thus, we felt that mesylate 24 would be an excellent synthetic equivalent to bromide 18 , especially since this substrate would not undergo conjugate addition and/or elimination to carbomethoxy-1,3-butadiene. After the typical Corey procedure was used, the known acid chloride 21 was converted into trioxabicyclooctane (OBO) ortho ester 22 by esterification with 3-methyloxetane-3-methanol followed by rearrangement using boron trifluoride etherate (Scheme 3). LAH reduction of 22 gave alcohol 23 , which was somewhat sensitive toward acid and furnished ortho ester 25 when allowed to stand under acidic conditions.…”

“…In addition, for most procedures, an excess of the alcohol is necessary, resulting in tedious purification of the products, especially when more complex alcohols with higher boiling points are used. Therefore, these methods are not applicable on an industrial scale due to cumbersome recrystallization and/or purification by means of column chromatography. …”

“…The stability of the compound to acid and the lack of formation of formaldehyde on periodate oxidation indicated the alkaloid was most probably 3-[/3keto--(3or 4-hydroxy-2-piperidyl)propyl]-4-quinazolone or 3-[/3-keto-y-(3-or 4-hydroxymethyl)-2-pyrrolidyl)propyl]-4-quinazolone. The correctness of this postulate was demonstrated when Baker and associates synthesized these compounds (4,5,6) and proved the hydrangea alkaloid to be 3…”
