Abstract

We report the first total synthesis of murrastifoline B and an improved route to murrastifoline F using a twofold palladium-catalyzed Buchwald–Hartwig amination as key step. The monomeric carbazole and the biaryl precursor are also prepared via palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions.

Key words

alkaloids - catalysis - cyclization - natural products - palladium

24 Experimental Procedure for the Twofold Buchwald–Hartwig Coupling to Murrastifoline B (2) A solution of the aminocarbazole 6 (19.1 mg, 0.061 mmol), the bistriflate 5 (30.2 mg, 0.061 mmol), Pd₂(dba)₃ (11.2 mg, 0.012 mmol), XantPhos (14.1 mg, 0.024 mmol), and K₃PO₄ (61.9 mg, 0.292 mmol) in o-xylene (3 mL) was heated at 130 °C for 64 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and a sat. aq. solution of NH₄Cl was added. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO₄. Removal of the solvent and purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (isohexane–EtOAc, 6:1) afforded murrastifoline B (2); yield 16.4 mg (66%); colorless crystals; mp 58.5–59 °C (lit.⁷ oil).
