A novel route to the hexacyclic indole alkaloid cuanzine 1 has been developed. Key synthetic steps include the cyclocondensation of the imine 8 with the dihydrofuran 10 followed by homogeneous-catalyzed hydrogenation, wherein the COOMe group at C(20) serves as a diastereocontrol element in establishing the C(15) stereogenicity. In order to define local energy minima, the conformational space of some intermediates has been explored by empirical force field calculations (MM2).

Abstract
A novel route to the hexacyclic indole alkaloid cuanzine 1 has been developed. Key synthetic steps include the cyclocondensation of the imine 8 with the dihydrofuran 10 followed by homogeneous-catalyzed hydrogenation, wherein the COOMe group at C(20) serves as a diastereocontrol element in establishing the C(15) stereogenicity. In order to define local energy minima, the conformational space of some intermediates has been explored by empirical force field calculations (MM2).File in questo prodotto:
