Catalytic[2+2+2]Tandem Cyclization with Alkyl Substituted Methylene Malonate Enabling Concise Total Synthesis of Four Malagasy Alkaloids

Myrtoidine and malagashanine,highly complex in-dole alkaloids,are effective adjuvants in developing cures for plasmodium malaria and potent multi-drug resistant agents.Despite nearly 30 years of prog-ress,myrtoidine and the related family of Malagasy alkaloids still present formidable challenges for syn-thetic chemists.Here,we developed a diastereose-lective[2+2+2]tandem cyclization reaction with alkyl-substituted methylene malonate,enabling highly efficient collective total synthesis of four Mal-agasy alkaloids from commercially available trypta-mines within 10-13 steps.The synthetic strategy included rapid and highly stereoselective assembly of the tetracyclic indoline core containing 5-7 con-tiguous stereogenic carbon centers,rarely seen in indole alkaloids.Among the four natural products,(±)-myrtoidine,(±)-11-demethoxymyrtoidine,and(±)-12-hydroxymalagashanine were synthesized for the first time,and the work on(±)-malagashanine represented the shortest synthetic route so far.Our current study should enable further explorations of chemical and biological spaces based on myrtoidine,malagashanine,and related natural products.
