Efficient Total Synthesis of Lissodendrin B 2-Aminoimidazole Marine Alkaloids Isolated from Lissodendoryx (Acanthodoryx) fibrosa

摘要

Lissodendrin B is a 2-aminoimidazole alkaloid bearing a ( -hydroxyphenyl) glyoxal moiety that was isolated from the Indonesian sponge We reported the first efficient total synthesis of Lissodendrin B. The precursor 4,5-disubstituted imidazole was obtained through Suzuki coupling and Sonogashira coupling reactions from 4-iodoimidazole. C2-azidation and reduction of the azide then provided the core structures of Lissodendrin B. Subsequent triple-bond oxidation, demethylation, and deacetylation gave the final product. The synthesis approach consists of ten steps with an overall yield of 1.1% under mild reaction conditions, and it can be applied for future analog synthesis and biological studies.
