摘要: With the aim to synthesize anti-mitotic natural product (−)-rhazinal, we proposed a strategy based on dearomative intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition between alkyl azide and indole, followed by rearrangement furnish featured tetracyclic framework. During reaction condition screening, accidentally encountered tandem cycloaddition/rearrangement/oxidation reaction, which enabled synthesis of another alkaloid, (−)-mersicarpine, in four steps with 35% overall yield from reported intermediate. The cycloaddition/rearrangement disclosed herein could provide method for other structurally intriguing alkaloids.
