Benzophenanthridine skeleton

It was postulated (169) that these amides are 8,8a-secobenzophenanthridine alkaloids produced by oxidative cleavage of ring B of the corresponding benzophenanthridines. The success of Baeyer-Villiger-type oxidations of the immonium bond of benzophenanthridine skeletons (168,171,172,175) indicates that this type of oxidation could be a real biological pathway. [Pg.294]

The benzophenanthridine skeleton is encountered in approximately 30 alkaloids, principally of the family Papaveraceae (Cordell, 1978a). In contrast to the biosynthesis of protopine alkaloids, phenanthridine alkaloids are synthesized in the cytoplasm (Hartmann, 1991). This type of system arises from a protoberberine precursor by fission of the C-6-N bond and recyclization. The biogenetic sequence leading to chelidonine (80) biosynthesis in Chelidonium majus has been supported by feeding experiments with multiply-labeled (-t-)-reticuline [(5)-reticuline] (20) and with labeled stylopine (79) (Fig. 32.25) (Hutchinson, 1986 Sim ek, 1985 Tanahashi and Zenk, 1988). (5)-Z-V-Methylstylopine and protopine (60) have been shown to be metabolites in this pathway. Reticuline is oxidatively cyclized to ( —)-scoulerine (72). Formation of two methylenedioxy groups results in the formation of stylopine (79) (Hartmann, 1991). [Pg.600]

This methodology has since been applied to constructing [6]-an-nelated carbazoles, and benz[/]indole, and the tetracyclic skeleton of the benzophenanthridine alkaloids. Arynes used in this type of reaction include 3,4-didehydropyridine in the synthesis of ellipticine 8 and isoellipticine 9," 3,4-(methylenedioxy)benzyne, and 2,3-naphthalyne. ... [Pg.50]
