Highly diastereoselective approach to novel phenylindolizidinols via benzothieno analogues of tylophorine based on reductive desulfurization of benzo[ b]thiophene
Chiral tetra- and hexahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3- f]indolizines 3– 5, 9, and 11 were synthesized easily from benzo[ b]thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde ( 1) and ( S)-glutamic acid ( 2) in good overall yields and both high enantio- and diastereomeric purities. Applying a diastereoselective reductive desulfuriz...

Summary: | Chiral tetra- and hexahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3-
f]indolizines
3–
5,
9, and
11 were synthesized easily from benzo[
b]thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde (
1) and (
S)-glutamic acid (
2) in good overall yields and both high enantio- and diastereomeric purities. Applying a diastereoselective reductive desulfurization of benzo[
b]thiophene followed by lactam reduction, epimeric alcohols
4a and
4b were readily converted into (7
R or
S,8a
S)-phenylindolizidinols
6a,
c. During these studies, the reduction of benzothienoindolizines
3–
5,
9,
11, and
12, was investigated and the results obtained are also discussed. |
