摘要:
The first total synthesis of the antimalarial naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid 5-epi-4'-O-demethylancistrobertsonine C (1a) and its-as yet unnatural-atropo-diastereomer, 1b, is described. The key step of the synthesis is the construction of the rotationally hindered and thus stereogenic biaryl axis, which was built up by a Suzuki reaction. The use of chiral ligands in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling permitted to increase the low internal asymmetric induction up to a diastereomeric ratio of 74:26. The assignment of the axial configurations of the atropo-diastereomers was achieved by 2D NMR experiments and corroborated by quantum chemical CD calculations. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
