Total Synthesis of the Tetracyclic Pyridinium Alkaloid epi ‐Tetradehydrohalicyclamine B

Abstract: The first total synthesis of a tetracyclic marine pyridinium alkaloid hinged on recent advances in chemoselectivity management: While many classical methods failed to afford the perceptively simple pyridine‐containing core of the target, nickel/iridium photoredox dual catalysis allowed the critical C−C bond to be formed in good yield. Likewise, ring closing alkyne metathesis (RCAM) worked well in the presence of the unhindered pyridine despite the innately Lewis acidic Mo (+6) center of the alkylidyne catalyst. Finally, an iridium catalyzed hydrosilylation was uniquely effective in reducing a tertiary amide without compromising an adjacent pyridine and the lateral double bonds; this transformation is largely without precedent. The second strained macrocycle enveloping the core was closed by intramolecular N‐alkylation with formation of the pyridinium unit; the reaction proceeded site‐ and chemoselectively in the presence of an a priori more basic tertiary amine.
