| Abstract | |
In 1996, D. Uemura and co-workers isolated the marine alkaloids halichlorine (1), pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinaic acid (3). They are structurally co-related by a 6- azaspiro[4.5.0]decane core. The biological activity of the haliclorina (1) is related to the inhibition of molecules associated to the adhesion of vascular cells (VCAM-1) with IC50 7mg/mL. The pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinnaic acid (3) are inhibitors of the fosfolipase A2 (FLA2). Due to the structural similarity among halichlorine (1), acid pinnaic (2) and acid tauropinnaic (3), this work presents a new synthetic approach to a common key intermediate, the 6-azaspiro[4.5.0]decane nucleus. Our approach was based on the tandem Michael addition/alkylation of the lithium enolate of N-propionyl pyrrolidine to 1-carbomethoxy cyclopentene, followed by in situ alkylation with ethyl 4-iodobutanoate to provide 4 in 68% yield. Dieckmann cyclization, followed by decarboxylation, afforded spirobicyclic ketone 5 (61% yield) which underwent reduction with LiEt3BH reduction, followed by spontaneous lactonization to give 6 (67% yield). Straightforward functional group manipulations provided oxime 7 (76% yield from 6) which underwent Beckmann rearrangement to afford the spirobicyclic lactam 8 in 60% yield, a potential intermediate to the synthesis of those alkaloids (AU) | |
