Síntese de análogos de alcalóides de núcleo sampangina a partir do lapachol e norlapachol

Abstract

The synthesis of some sampangine analogs was accomplished by using suitable natural and synthetic quinones, namely lapachol and nor-lapachol. These readily available compunds were functionalized by a sequence of O-methylation using dimethylsulfate in basic media, and chemoselective nucleophylic displacement with 2-aminoethanol and 3-aminopropanol. Further transformation of hydroxyl group in azide by a sequence involving tosylation results in the key intermediates. These 2-amino-ω-azido compunds were submitted to catalytic hydrogenation over palladium on charcoal yielding the corresponding quinoxaline and 1,4-diazepine nucleus. Some of these compounds were sequentially cyclized with the aid of DDQ to yield the corresponding tetracyclic analogs of sampagine alkaloids. All compounds were characterized by usual methods including proton and carbon-13 NMR, infrared.
