| Abstract | |
In the first part of the thesis several synthetic routes for the preparation of the northeast and southwest fragments of the bisindolic alkaloid Raputindole D, whose total synthesis has never been described, were approached. The initial proposal was to obtain the northeast fragment in 13 steps from the commercial compound 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol, using as key steps a Diels-Alder reaction, a reductive ring opening and a ring contraction with iodine(III). Employing a regioselective Diels-Alder reaction of a silyl substituted intermediate, the construction of a linear tricyclic unit was achieved with the obtainment of a single regioisomer. However, all attempts to ring opening of the oxabicyclic alkene only resulted in the undesired regioisomer, although previous studies with model compounds revealed that this proposal was feasible. Thus, it was possible to access an advanced intermediary in 13 steps and 12% overall yield. The southwest fragment was obtained in 3 steps from commercial 5- bromoindole in 47% overall yield and employing as main steps a Sonogashira reaction and a coupling with 1-hydroxybenziodoxolone. In the second part of the thesis are presented the results regarding the study of the key step for the connection of the northeast and southwest fragments, through the development of a new methodology for the electrophilic α-alkynylation of non-activated aromatic carbonyl compounds with the hypervalent iodine TMS- EBX. Employing t-BuOK as a base and TBAF as an activating agent, mono- and dialkynylated ketones were obtained in good yields. The use of aldehydes as substrates also proved to be possible, allowing to access homopropargylic alcohols derivatives in moderate yields after reduction in situ using NaBH4. Finally, the application of the developed methodology was demonstrated by the preparation of an advanced alkynylation intermediate. The antiproliferative activity of this compound was investigated, showing only weakly active with a more pronounced activity for ovarian carcinoma and leukemia cells. (AU) | |
