A straightforward approach toward a decorated cyclopenta[ij]isoquinoline embodying the ABC-ring system characteristic of the azafluoranthene (triclisine), tropoisoquinoline (pareitropone) and proaporphine (prodensiflorin B) alkaloids, is reported. The synthetic ­sequence entailed a novel 40% KF/Al2O3-mediated hydroacylation of a 2-allyl-benzaldehyde derivative, obtained in two steps from isovanillin, through O-allylation and Claisen rearrangement to assemble the AC-ring system. This was followed by an O-methylation and a reductive ­amination of the resulting indanone with aminoacetal. A modified Pomeranz–Fritsch cyclization was next implemented to install ring B, through sulfonamidation, followed by acid-promoted cyclization and ­final desulfonylation in situ.

Studies on a one-pot synthesis of novel multisubstituted 1-alkoxyindoles 1 and their mechanistic investigations are presented. The synthesis of 1 was successfully achieved through consecutive four step reactions from substrates 2. The substrates 2, prepared through a two-step synthetic sequence, underwent three consecutive reactions of nitro reduction, intramolecular condensation, and nucleophilic 1,5-addition to provide the intermediates, 1-hydroxyindoles 8, which then were alkylated in situ with alkyl halide to afford the novel target products 1. We optimized the reaction conditions for 1 focusing on the alkylation step, along with the consideration of formation of intermediates 8. The optimized condition was SnCl2·2H2O (3.3 eq) and alcohols (R1OH, 2.0 eq) for 1–2 h at 40 °C and then, base (10 eq) and alkyl halides (R2Y, 2.0 eq) for 1–4 h at 25–50 °C. Notably, all four step reactions were performed in one-pot to give 1 in good to modest yields. Furthermore, the mechanistic aspects were also discussed regarding the reaction pathways and the formation of side products. The significance lies in development of efficient one-pot reactions and in generation of new 1-alkoxyindoles.

A synthesis of cis, anti, cis-4,4-dimethyltricyclo[6.3.0.026]undecan-3-one is described in which the key step is β-enolate rearrangement of 9,9-dimethyltricyclo[5.3.1.01.5]undecan-10-one proceeding with retention of configuration. The required [5.3.1.01.5] ketone was prepared in six steps from tricyclo[5.2.1.01.5]dec-8-ene. This sequence constitutes a new route to the tricyclo[6.3.0.02.6]undecane ring system characteristic of the hirsutane sesquiterpenes. The 13C data for several tricyclic derivatives are reported.

The oxyanion derived from hydroxyacrylate E-(5) undergoes smooth intramolecular Michael addition to give the trans-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran (7) as the major product of reaction. In contrast, the oxyanion obtained from isomer Z-(5) cyclizes to give the cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran (6) as the major product. Such chemistry has been extended to the enantioselective synthesis of (+)-(6) the acquisition of which constitutes a formal total synthesis of acid (+)-(2), a constituent of the glandular secretion from the civet cat (Viverra civetta). Reductive amination of keto acrylate (12) affords an intermediate amine which cyclizes, in situ, to give the cis-2,6-disubstituted piperidine (26). Analogous treatment of compound (13) delivers the isomeric trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidine (27) as the exclusive product of reaction. Transition state structures have been proposed to account for the diastereoselectivities observed in all of the cyclization reactions.
