Abstract

A new synthetic route for the  (±)-nordasycarpidone was achieved in five steps with an overall yield of  41%. This route involves  ring closure and formation of 5 which has a  methanoazocino[4,3-b]indole skeleton in the key step. The reaction also involved a cyclization reaction of  tetrahydrocarbazole with a monoalkyl nitrile side chain at the C-2 position, and this reaction was mediated by tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCB). The central step in the synthesis was  the closure of the D-ring of the intra-molecular structure and the addition of amine, which resulted in an aza-tetracyclic substructure that contained the ABCD-ring of the strychnos alkaloid family.
