Total Synthesis of 1,2- Diamine Contained Alkaloids, Schizozygine, Vallesamidine and Strempeliopine (Chapter 1 and 2) Towards Schizozygine Type Alkaloids: Total Synthesis of (+)-Vallesamidine and (+)-Strempeliopine by Xiangyu Zhang A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University College London Declaration I, Xiangyu Zhang, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: Date: i Abstract As a classic and powerful tool for carbon-carbon bond formation, the nitro-Mannich reaction has shown its versatility in drugs and natural products syntheses. The 1,2- diamine structure, a reduced moiety from nitro-Mannich adduct, is widely present in naturally occurring alkaloids and this feature suggested the potential application of nitro- mannich reaction in such alkaloids synthesis. This thesis showcases the nitro-Mannich reaction as a key strategic reaction through studies towards the total synthesis of 1,2- diamine contained alkaloids, schizozygine, vallesamidine and strempeliopine (Chapter 1 and 2). Initial studies on the schizozygine molecule (Chapter 3) generated a diastereoselective nitro-Mannich reaction on -branched nitroalkanes to synthesise complex -nitroamines with three contigurous chiral centres and syn,anti stereochemistry. This reaction was followed by a reductive cyclisation to achieve the functionalised piperidine ring C. Although the subsequent manipulation towards advanced shcizozygine intermediate was unsuccessful, the nitro-Mannich/reductive cyclisation sequence provided methodology for highly functionalised piperidine ring synthesis. A second generation route using nitro-Mannich reaction was accompanied by other nitro group chemistry, Michael addition, Tsuji-Trost allylation and nitro group reduction/C-N coupling reaction, to realise the quick and concise preparation of an A/B/C ring intermediate. An unusual and novel [1,4]-hydride tansfer/Mannich type cyclisation was carried out to build the ring E. The resulting A/B/C/E ring intermediate was used divergently to complete the total synthesis of (+)-vallesamidine (Chapter 4) and (+)- 14,15-dehydrostrempeliopine (Chapter 5) as well as three other unnatural analogues. These natural and unnatural products could be candidates for drug discovery research and the route would be applicale for the synthesis of schizozygine and related molecules. ii Statement of impact Natural products are chemical compounds or substances produced by living organisms and many of them possess impressive biological activities. Of the approved pharmaceuticals joining the market between 1981 and 2010, 64% were related to natural products. The chemical synthesis of natural products can save the use of precious and sometimes scarce natural resources, provide more material than nature can produce and can facilitate drug discovery. This thesis developed a new route to a late stage synthetic divergent intermediate from which vallesamidine, strempeliopine and schizozygine type alkaloids could be prepared. To exemplify this the total syntheses of alkaloids (+)- vallesamidine and (+)-14,15-dehydrostrempeliopine were completed. This route highlighted nitro group chemistry and intramolecular C-H functionalization and showcased their diversity in multi-target synthesis. The route contributes a notable strategy to the chemical community that will potentially be used for other alkaloid syntheses. This enabling synthetic route will enable the evaluation of rare structures for biological studies and have impact and inspire drug discovery to tackle disease. iii Acknowledgment I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Jim Anderson, for his guidance in my research during the last four years. The PhD research journey was full of challenges and no achievement could be made without his mentorship and inspiration. I also want to thank the support from NMR (Dr. Abil Aliev), mass spectroscopy (Dr. Kersti Karu) services and Dr Merina Corpinot for the single crystal X-ray structure determination.

Rasmussen Career Development Professor of Food Science Barbara Garrison Shapiro Professor of Chemistry Head of the Department of Chemistry *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In work directed toward a total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid lycopladine H (21), several strategies have been explored based on key tandem oxidative dearomatization/Diels-Alder reactions of o-quinone ketals. Both intra- and intermolecular approaches were examined, with the greatest success coming from dearomatization of bromophenol 84b followed by cycloaddition of the resulting dienone with nitroethylene to provide the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane core 203 of the natural product. The C-5 center was established via a stereoselective Henry reaction with formaldehyde to form 228, and the C-12 center was set through addition of vinyl cerium to the C-12 ketone to give 272. A novel intramolecular hydroaminomethylation of vinyl amine 272 was used to construct the 8-membered azocane ring in intermediate 322, resulting in establishment of 3 of the 4 rings present in the natural product 21 in 9 steps from known readily available compounds.

  • The Case of Silodosin
    Department of Chemistry Doctorate School in Industrial Chemical - XXVII Cycle New processes for the APIs industrial production: the case of silodosin Ph. D. Thesis of Francesco CALOGERO R09773 Tutor: Prof. Daniele Passarella Cotutor: Dr. Emanuele Attolino Coordinator: Prof. Dominique Roberto Academic Year: 2013/2014 Ai miei genitori Dietro ogni problema c’è un’opportunità (Behind every problem there is an opportunity) Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) ABSTRACT This thesis is focused on the development of new synthetic processes for the production of already known Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). The research work was performed in the laboratories of Dipharma Francis srl, a company which operates in the generic drug market. The launch of the generic version of a drug in the market often leads to lowering of product prices for both the branded product and the generic ones. For this reason, the process adopted to produce an API has to be innovative, efficient, safe and, of course, cheaper than the existing ones, in order to be competitive in the market. During my Ph.D. I worked on the synthesis of some APIs, in particular here I report the feasibility and development studies of an alternative process to produce silodosin. Silodosin is an API used as a treatment for the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). In order to establish the synthetic strategy and to outline our freedom to operate, an accurate survey of the whole patent literature about silodosin has been done. During the feasibility study several synthetic approaches have been tried in order to functionalise indoline at positions 5 and 7.
