Suaveoline

Maranon, and later Santos and Reyes, found artabotrine and suaveoline in Artabotyris suaveolens, Blume. In one species of the Anonaceas, Xylopia macrocarpa Oliv., berberine has been recorded (p. 329). Anolobine, Ci,H, OaN. This alkaloid has m.p. 262° (dec.) and... 

During the enantiospecihc total synthesis of ajmalin-related alkaloids, (-)-suaveoline and (-)-raumacline, N-debenzylation of the hydrochloride salt of the alkaloids was performed with 10% Pd/C (0.12 mol Pd/mol compound) in absolute EtOH at room temperature and 1 atm of hydrogen for 1 or 2 hours. When this catalytic debenzylation was performed, however, using 10% Pd/C (0.28 mol Pd/mol compound) in MeOH for 5 hours, N-methyl derivatives were produced in good yield (Scheme 4.91).339,340... 

Examples of cycloadditions with oxazole substrates that lead to products other than furans are also known. 4-Substituted oxazole 73 has been used in an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction <2004TL6471> with an alkene to afford a pyridyl cycloadduct 74 in good yields en route to the synthesis of a Rauwolfm alkaloid, (—)-suaveoline. This reaction required refluxing xylene with l,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) as an additive (Scheme 13). 

Reaction of N-benzylsuaveoline (65) with hydrogen over a large excess of Pd/C in methanol for a long period of time led to the replacement of the benzyl group by a methyl in near quantitative yield. However, hydrogenolysis of the hydrochloride, 66, gave the secondary amine, suaveoline (67) (Eqn. 20.46). ...
