Wenkert, Ernest; Chang, Ching-Jer; Chawla, H. P. S.; Cochran, David W.; Hagaman, Edward W.; King, James C.; Orito, Kazuhiko published the artcile< General methods of synthesis of indole alkaloids. 14. Short routes of construction of yohimboid and ajmalicinoid alkaloid systems and their carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis>, Computed Properties of 33402-75-4, the main research area is akuammigine synthesis; alstonine tetrahydro synthesis; pseudoyohimbone synthesis; ajmalicine synthesis; indole alkaloid synthesis; configuration indole alkaloid; NMR carbon 13 alkaloid; yohimboid synthesis; ajmalicinoid synthesis.
Conceptually new schemes of synthesis of indole alkaloids are introduced. The yohimboid ring system is constructed by the sequential treatment of 1-tryptophyl-3-(β-oxobutyl)pyridinium bromide with base and acid. Hydrogenation of the product yields (±)-pseudoyohimbone (I). The ajmalicinoid ring system is formed by the exposure of 1-tryptophyl-3-acetylpyridinium bromide to NaCH(CO2Et)2 and then to acid, followed by hydrogenation. Subsequent reduction of dehydration of the products gives the racemates of the alkaloids tetrahydroalstonine (3α,20α-II), akuammigine (3β,20α-II) and isomers of ajmalicine (3α,20β-II). Complete C shift analyses of yohimboid and ajmalicinoid alkaloids of normal, pseudo, allo, and epiallo configuration were executed. Shifts of specific C are of stereochem. diagnostic value. A general shielding γ effect is observed for the interaction of C-H bonds with spatially rigid and directed electron pair orbitals.
