Abstract

A novel stereocontrolled approach has been developed for the syntheses of tashiromine and epitashiromine alkaloids from cyclooctene β-amino acids. The synthetic concept is based on the azetidinone opening of a bicyclic β-lactam, followed by oxidative ring opening through ring C–C double bond and reductive ring-closure reactions of the cis- or trans-cyclooctene β-amino acids.

Keywords: alkaloids; amino acids; ring closure; ring opening; stereocontrolled synthesis

Introduction

Indolizidine alkaloids are an important class of naturally occurring compounds which have received considerable attention as a result of their valuable physiological properties. A number of representatives of this class exhibit glycosidase inhibitory activity or antimetastatic, anticancer, antitumour or anti-HIV properties [1-3]. A large number of natural products contain an indolizidine framework, among them (−)-δ-coniceine, (−)-swainsonine, indolizidine 167B [4-10], (+)-lentiginosine [11-15], (+)-slaframine [16], (−)-elaeokanine C [17], (+)-cyclizidine [18], lepadiformine [19], the highly oxygenated (+)-castanospermine [20,21], or pumiliotoxin [22]. Figure 1 illustrates the structures of several such compounds.

Tashiromine is a natural indolizidine alkaloid isolated from Maackia tashiroi (1990). Strategies for the synthesis of indolizidine derivatives have received considerable interest from synthetic and medicinal chemists (Figure 2). A number of synthetic approaches have been described earlier for construction of the indolizidine framework; access to tashiromine in racemic form can be achieved through the alkylation of succinimide, followed by ring closure via acyliminium intermediates [23,24], the reduction of cyclized pyridinium salts [25], iminium cascade cyclization [26], alkyne-mediated hydroformylation–cyclization [27], or electrophilic pyrolidinone alkylation followed by ring closure [28,29]. Pyrrolidine alkylation and nucleophilic ring closure followed by C–C double bond hydroboration [30] leads to racemic epitashiromine, as does the N-alkylated succinimide transformation through the corresponding indolizidinone [31].

[1860-5397-11-66-2]

Figure 2: Approaches to racemic tashiromine and epitashiromine.

Several synthetic procedures have also been developed for the preparation of tashiromine or epitashiromine enantiomers.

(+)-Tashiromine has been synthetized from a pyrrolidinone derivative through chiral Lewis acid-catalysed cyclization to substituted pyrrolidinones [17], by the intramolecular cyclization of a chiral alkenylated pyrrolidinone, followed by hydroxylation [32], or by the intramolecular ring closure of chiral pyrrolidine diesters followed by ester and oxo group reduction [33], while the syntheses of (+)-epitashiromine starts from a chiral morpholine derivative, with nitrone 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and reduction [34] (Figure 3).

[1860-5397-11-66-3]

Figure 3: Synthetic routes to (+)-tashiromine and (+)-epitashiromine.

(−)-Tashiromine has been accessed through the ring closure of difunctionalized acyclic chiral sulfonamide-based β-amino acids [35], the cyclization of pyrrole derivatives with a chiral side-chain [36], or the enantioselective arylation of pyrrole, followed by saturation [37]. The transformation of chiral functionalized pyrrole or pyrrolidine derivatives has served as the basis of the construction of (−)-epitashiromine [38,39] (Figure 4).

[1860-5397-11-66-4]

Figure 4: Synthetic routes to (−)-tashiromine and (−)-epitashiromine.

The oxidative functionalization of cyclic β-amino acid derivatives has been reported to be a convenient route for the preparation of N-heterocyclic β-amino acid derivatives [40,41] or for the stereocontrolled synthesis of functionalized cispentacins [42] and their acyclic counterparts [43,44] (Figure 5). The oxidative ring cleavage of various vicinal diols and the transformation of the resulting dialdehyde intermediates has been efficiently applied in recent years for the synthesis of a series of valuable organic molecules [45-52]. In particular, Davies and co-workers have utilized the oxidative ring opening of cyclic vicinal diols followed by ring closure for access to pyrrolizidine alkaloids [45].

Results and Discussion

We describe here a novel access route for the synthesis of tashiromine and epitashiromine by starting from an unsaturated bicyclic β-lactam. The retrosynthetic concept of the synthesis is represented on Scheme 1 and was based on the lactam ring opening, in continuation followed by oxidative ring opening of the formed β-amino esters and by reductive ring closure as key steps.

[1860-5397-11-66-i1]

Scheme 1: Retrosynthesis of tashiromine and epitashiromine.

Bicyclic β-lactam (±)-1 [53,54] was first transformed by azetidinone opening to the corresponding amino ester hydrochloride (±)-2 [53,54], N-protection of which with benzyl chloroformate (Z-Cl) afforded protected amino ester (±)-3 in 78% yield. In agreement with our earlier observations [40-42] C–C double bond functionalization of the cyclooctene β-amino ester via dihydroxylation with N-methyl morpholine N-oxide (NMO) in the presence of OsO4 afforded the corresponding all-cis dihydroxylated ethyl β-aminocyclooctanecarboxylate (±)-4 in 90% yield (for dihydroxylation, see also reference [54]) (Scheme 2). Amino ester (±)-4 was next subjected through its vicinal diol moiety to oxidative ring opening with NaIO4 in MeOH at 20 °C, which resulted (monitored by TLC) in the corresponding ring-opened unstable diformyl intermediate (I1), which after work-up was immediately used without further purification (for several similar types of acyclic diformyl intermediates, see references [40,41,43,44]). Thus, the crude material was submitted to catalytic hydrogenolysis and after N-deprotection underwent double cyclization–reduction to furnish indolizidine ester (±)-5 in 41% yield after purification by chromatography.

[1860-5397-11-66-i2]

Scheme 2: Synthesis of (±)-tashiromine ((±)-6).

Reduction of the ester group of (±)-5 with an excess of LiAlH4 in THF at 20 °C gave the corresponding tashiromine (±)-6 [35-37], which was isolated in 48% yield after purification by column chromatography (Scheme 2). The stereochemistry of (±)-6 was unequivocally assigned by NMR data, which were consistent with those reported [35-37].

A similar strategy was applied for the synthesis of epitashiromine. On reaction with NaOEt in EtOH at 20 °C, ethyl cis-β-aminocyclooctenecarboxylate (±)-3 underwent epimerization at C-1, leading after 18 h to an equilibrium mixture of cis and trans amino esters (1:1 ratio determined by 1H NMR on the crude mixture), the required trans isomer (±)-7 being separated from the cis counterpart and isolated in a yield of 48% by means of column chromatography. Dihydroxylation of (±)-7 with NMO/OsO4 next afforded an oily mixture of cis and trans dihydroxylated cyclooctane β-amino esters (diastereomeric mixture of (±)-8) in 77% overall yield after column chromatography. Our attempts to separate this nearly 1:1 mixture of the two dihydroxylated stereoisomers (determined on the basis of 1H NMR data) failed, but the mixture could be applied in the next ring-opening oxidation step, since it gave only one open-chain diformyl intermediate I2.

Similarly to the cis isomer, this unstable dialdehyde intermediate was subjected without isolation to catalytic hydrogenolysis, followed by reductive cyclization, to give the corresponding indolizidine ester (±)-9 in 40% yield. Finally, ester reduction with LiAlH4 in THF resulted in epitashiromine (±)-10 [32,34,39] in 53% yield after isolation by chromatography (Scheme 3). The stereochemistry of (±)-epitashiromine was assigned by NMR data, which were in agreement with those reported [32,34,39].

Conclusion

In summary, a novel stereocontrolled efficient method has been presented for the synthesis of tashiromine and epitashiromine alkaloids in six or seven steps, based on the preparation of cis or trans cyclooctene β-amino esters, followed by their oxidative ring cleavage and double reductive ring-closure reactions.

Experimental

General procedure for the Z-protection of amino esters

To a solution of amino ester hydrochloride ((±)-2 or (−)-2) [29] (17.8 mmol) in THF (40 mL), Et3N (9 mL) was added at 0 °C, followed by 7.8 mL (1 equivalent) of Z-Cl (a 50% solution in toluene). The mixture was stirred for 14 h at 20 °C, and then was diluted with EtOAc (120 mL). The organic layer was washed with H2O (3 × 60 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane/EtOAc 4:1), affording the amino ester.

General procedure for the dihydroxylation of amino esters

To a solution of cis or trans Z-protected amino ester ((±)-3, (−)-3 or (±)-7) (2.9 mmol) in acetone (30 mL) and H2O (1 mL), NMO (1.5 equivalents) and 2% OsO4 in t-BuOH (0.7 mL) were added and the mixture was stirred at 20 °C for 4 h. A saturated aqueous solution of Na2SO3 (40 mL) was then added, the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 30 mL), and the organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane/EtOAc 1:4) to give the dihydroxylated amino ester.

General procedure for epimerization of the cis-amino ester

To a solution of cis N-protected amino ester ((±)-3 or (−)-3) (3.3 mmol) in EtOH (30 mL), EtONa (1.5 equivalents) was added at 0 °C and the mixture was stirred at 20 °C for 18 h. H2O (70 mL) was then added, the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 30 mL), and the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane/EtOAc 9:1) to give the trans isomer as a colourless oil.

General procedure for the oxidative ring opening/reductive ring closure of dihydroxylated amino esters

To a solution of dihydroxylated amino ester ((±)-4, (±)-8 or (−)-8) (2.46 mmol) in MeOH (25 mL), NaIO4 (2 equivalents) was added and the mixture was stirred at 20 °C for 45 min. It was then diluted with H2O (50 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was dissolved in EtOAc (30 mL), Pd/C (150 mg) was added and the mixture was stirred at 20 °C for 16 h. The catalyst was next filtered off through Celite. The crude mixture was then purified by column chromatography on silica gel (CH2Cl2/MeOH 95:5 or CH2Cl2/MeOH 9:1) to give the indolizidine derivative.

General procedure for reduction of the ester

To a solution of indolizidine carboxylate ((±)-5, (±)-9 or (−)-9) (1 mmol) in dry THF (15 mL), LiAlH4 (5 equivalents) was added at 0 °C and the mixture was stirred at 20 °C for 4 h. It was then cooled to 0 °C, H2O (2 mL) was added dropwise and the solid formed was filtered off through Celite. The filtrate was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH 90:8:2 or CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH 90:5:5) to give the alkaloid.
