J Org Chem. 2017 Jul 21;82(14):7648-7656. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.7b01061. Epub 2017 Jun 30.

Abstract

An efficient construction of phenyl-substituted coumarin-pyrrole-isoquinoline-fused pentacycle via base-promoted Grob-type coupling of 3-nitrocoumarin and papaverine in a sealed tube is reported. This reaction is further applied to the total synthesis of lamellarin H in three linear steps and lamellarin D in eight linear steps with overall yields of 31% and 14%, respectively.
