摘要

This research focuses on developing efficient synthetic methodologies for the construction of complex heterocyclic ring systems. Novel cyclization reactions are employed as key strategies. A new synthetic route to 1,5-methanoazocino[4,3-b]indole is described, utilizing a Fischer indole cyclization of 2-(3-oxocyclohexyl)acetonitrile, which forms the tetracyclic framework characteristic of an important subgroup of Strychnos alkaloids. This method employs 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) for a cyclization reaction involving tetrahydrocarbazole with a monoalkyl nitrile side chain at the C-2 position. The resulting ABCD-ring system, found in Strychnos alkaloids, is thus generated. The synthesized compounds are characterized using spectroscopic techniques, and the 1,5-methanoazocino[4,3-b]indole synthesis is completed in five steps (60% overall yields) and thereby affords compounds 2 (85%), 3 (91%), 5 (94%), 6 (98%), and 7 (84%), respectively.
