Indole

Résumé

Lindole est un composé organique aromatique hétérocyclique. Le nom indole est dérivé de l'indigo, pigment bleu dont la molécule contient deux groupements indoles soudés. Il peut être décrit schématiquement comme étant formé d'un cycle benzénique et d'un cycle pyrrole accolés. Le doublet électronique porté par l'atome d'azote dans la représentation de Lewis participe à la délocalisation aromatique. Contrairement aux amines classiques, l'indole n'est donc pas une base puisque le caractère aromatique serait perdu en cas de réaction chimique mettant en jeu ce doublet. L'indole est un composé solide à la température ambiante, qui possède une odeur puissante, à la fois florale, fongique et animale. Il est naturellement présent dans de nombreuses fleurs blanches, comme le jasmin et la fleur d'oranger, et est responsable de leur caractère capiteux. Comme le scatol (ou méthyl-indole), l'indole possède des tonalités olfactives animales pouvant rappeler la matière fécale, mais beaucoup moins p

The work presented in this thesis focuses on the synthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids. The first part describes the divergent total synthesis of (-)-rhazinilam, (-)-leucomidine B and (+)-leuconodine F, three structurally distinct natural products of the Aspidosperma family. The key step involves the heteroannulation of an advanced tetrahydropyridine with bromoacetaldehyde or oxalyl chloride in order to afford the corresponding tetrahydroindolizine and 2,3-dioxopyrrole moieties, respectively. By fine tuning of the reaction conditions, the former was converted into rhazinilam while the latter led to the syntheses of leucomidine B and leuconodine F. In the case of leucomidine B, the development of a substrate-directed diastereoselective reduction of a sterically unbiased double bond is also discussed. The second part details the synthetic studies towards various members of the Sarpagan family. After the exploration of several strategies and indoles alkaloids, the enantioselective total synthesis of N(1)-demethyl-3,5-diepi-alstolactone was accomplished. This synthesis features three key points: 1) the incorporation of a vinyl ketone function in the C-2 position of indole by using the Liebeskind-Srogl coupling in order to afford, after ring-closing metathesis, an advanced eight-membered cyclic enone, 2) a highly diastereoselective intramolecular Michael addition and 3) the formation of an azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane bridged system from the corresponding eight-membered ring via a dehydration / transannular cyclization process.

Amatoxins are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified bicyclic octapeptides biosynthesized by the deadly basidiomycete fungus Amanita phalloides. Amongst this group, alpha-amanitin is the most widely known toxin and is currently under investigation as part of an antibody-drug conjugate to treat pancreatic cancer. As a consequence, an efficient, modular synthetic route to the molecule is highly desirable. This thesis describes our efforts toward the development of a novel synthesis of alpha-amanitin. An unprecedented tryptathionine formation was envisioned as the key step, which would generate the characteristic cross-linker between cysteine and tryptophan and allow for late stage diversification of the molecule. The transformation would be realized in analogy to a report by Fagnou and co-workers, describing a Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative annulation of aniline derivatives with internal alkynes to form 2,3-disubstituted indoles. In this effort, several methods for the regioselective formation of 2-substituted indoles were identified in studies with a model thioalkyne. 3,4-Dimethoxybenzyl was chosen as an orthogonal protecting group for the indole nitrogen, and the regioselectivity with respect to substitution on the ring was controlled by exploiting the sterics of the substituent. A method for the selective preparation of 3 sulfenyl indoles was also identified. For several decades, the total synthesis of amanitin had been prevented due to the lack of an efficient method to prepare the characteristic unnatural amino acid dihydroxyisoleucine (DhIle). The present thesis describes a novel, efficient and modular synthesis of this challenging scaffold. The crucial anti-diastereselectivity in the generation of its characteristic stereocenters was obtained in an organocatalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction/olefination protocol. To avoid lactonization, an alternative synthetic route to a DhIle-containing dipeptide 234 was developed, allowing for the efficient preparation of the valuable diol on a larger scale. Subsequently, preliminary results demonstrated the feasibility of a proposed Pd(II)-catalyzed thioalkynylation by the synthesis of a model dipeptide, and its applicability on a model macrocyclic peptide scaffold was shown. This was later used as a proof of concept for the key Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed tryptathionine formation. Unfortunately, the isolation of this bicyclic octapeptide was so far unsuccessful, as was the preparation of the target amanitin scaffold. As a consequence, an alternative synthetic strategy to this peptide scaffold was developed. Future works would include its preparation on a larger scale to evaluate the key transformation and access the target alpha-amanitin. The envisioned strategy for the synthesis of alpha-amanitin was also probed for the potential preparation of phalloidin, another potent compound produced by the Death Cap mushroom, with interesting applications as a biological tool. In this effort, a novel synthetic route to a dipeptide containing the characteristic dihydroxyleucine moiety was developed. A route to the cyclic phalloidin scaffold was explored, as well as a potential alternative route to the linear scaffold to allow for efficient scaling of the synthesis.
