Total Synthesis of Dixiamycin B by Electrochemical Oxidation

Abstract: N–N-linked dimeric indole alkaloids represent an unexplored class of natural products for which chemical synthesis has no practical solution. To meet this challenge, an electrochemical oxidative dimerization method was developed, which was applied as the pivotal step of the first total synthesis of dixiamycin B. This method is also general for N–N dimerization of substituted carbazoles and β-carbolines, providing entry into seldom explored chemical space.

“…Under these conditions, an 80% yield of 1-amino indole was isolated. The reaction did not proceed without catalyst or when using highly acidic Bi(OTf) 3 or TfOH catalysts (entries [4][5][6]. Weaker Brønsted acids are superior catalysts, with TFA giving just 25% yield while acetic acid provides the product in 63% yield (entries 7, 8).…”

“…[146] One remarkable example is the NÀNh eteroatom coupling of carbazoles at acarbon anode,investigated by Baran and co-workers as ap ivotal step of the first total synthesis of dixiamycin B( Scheme 51). [147] Thea uthors demonstrated that this reaction can be generally applied to substituted carbazoles and b-carbolines with yields of up to 66 %. Here,the electrochemical approach was superior to classic organic oxidation reactions.I nt his protocol, the supporting electrolyte (Et 4 NBr) acted as am ediator,r esulting in am ild oxidative reaction.…”
