摘要
The cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN)-catalyzed sequential multicomponent reaction between tryptamine, ,-unsaturated aldehydes, and -dicarbonyl compounds affords highly substituted indolo[2,3-a]quinolizines in a single synthetic operation. Two rings are generated through the creation of two CC and two CN bonds by a domino process comprising initial -enaminone formation, followed by individual Michael addition, 6-exo-trig cyclization, iminium formation, and Pictet-Spengler steps. Furthermore, the reaction is diastereoselective and affords exclusively compounds with a trans relationship between the H-2 and H-12b protons. The use of amines bearing a less nucleophilic side chain aromatic ring (5-bromotryptamine, 3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamine) prevents the Pictet-Spengler final step and leads to N-indolylethyl or N-phenylethyl-1,4-dihydropyridines, which are cyclized to the corresponding indolo[2,3-a]quinolizines or benzo[a]quinolizines in the presence of HCl in methanol/water. Treatment of the fused quinolizine derivatives with sodium triacetoxyborohydride led to the corresponding indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidines or benzo[a]quinolizidines, possessing four stereogenic centers, as mixtures of two diastereomers.
